When Decatur Memorial Hospital first opened its doors on Jan. 1, 1916, an American flag bearing only 48 stars waved above the structure. And just as this symbol of our American heritage has endured war, plague, growth and prosperity, DMH's commitment has withstood the test of time, growing stronger and more dedicated with each passing decade. Throughout the decades, DMH has been transformed from a one-building facility to a medical complex offering the latest in healthcare diagnostic and treatment modalities. Decatur Memorial Hospital is a private, not-for-profit hospital. Providing philanthropic support for the hospital, Decatur Memorial Foundation accepts financial contributions to support the healthcare programs and services most needed in our community. We are committed to providing outstanding medical service to further our mission of improving the health of the people of Central Illinois. By combining a highly trained staff of professionals with the latest advances in state-of-the-art technology, DMH provides PROVEN QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
