It was one of the earliest hospitals in the state to treat tuberculosis. The hospital launched a 50 year battle against the disease. In 1927, the hospital was enlarged when the number of patients greatly increased, costing $900,000 to build the expansion. It was remodeled in 1957, providing room for 138 patients, with the latest physical facilities and equipment to care and cure the sick. By 1961,approximately 5000 patients had recieved treatment. The hospital's name was changed to the Ottawa Valley Hospital in 1960. With the decline of tubercular patients, non-tubercular patients were being admitted as well. Modern chemotherapy rapidly reduced the number of tuberculosis patients and the need for long term care. In 1970, the Ohio Department of Health designated two regional TB hospitals as eligible for State subsidy. Lima Tuberculosis Hospital was forced to close with the loss of these funds.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Ohio Urbanites - April trip Fri, Apr 14th, 2006 posted by YellowSnow 13 pictures April 16, 2007 Mon, Apr 16th, 2007 posted by ilduce 22 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Panoramas Collapsed Floor Tue, Apr 17th, 2007 posted by ilduce Washroom Tue, Apr 17th, 2007 posted by ilduce Outside Tue, Apr 17th, 2007 posted by ilduce  Web Links http://www.ohiourb...om/urbex/lima.html http://picasaweb.g...HospitalSecondTrip  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
