History

Our History
In 1951 concerned citizens made a commitment to serve the medical needs of our community by incorporating Grayson County War Memorial Hospital Located in downtown Leitchfield the most vivid memories of the old hospital focus on people the dedicated staff members who were always on hand to meet the needs of the patients and families

By 1976 Grayson County War Memorial Hospital employed 124 people and was outgrowing its 40bed facility The community again responded to the need and in 1979 the hospital relocated to Wallace Avenue to a new twostory 75bed facility renamed Grayson County Hospital

With a larger modernequipped hospital and office space to attract new physicians to the area the hospital and its services to the community began to flourish By the early 1990s the hospitals medical staff had more than doubled and its primary service area had grown beyond the borders of Grayson County It was no longer just a quotcountyquot hospital it had come to be recognized as a regional healthcare provider Thus the Board of Directors looking to the future renamed the hospital quotTwin Lakes Regional Medical Centerquot to more truly represent its growth and status throughout the area

From five physicians in 1979 to todays active Medical Staff of 30 representing 11 specialties Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center remains committed to its pledge to provide quotMedical Excellence Compassionate Carequot
