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 years, Decatur Memorial Hospital has been transformed from a one-building facility to a multi-facility medical complex with 30 satellite offices offering the latest in healthcare diagnostic and treatment modalities.

A not-for-profit, private hospital, Decatur Memorial Hospital’s mission—to continuously improve and maintain the health of people living in the communities we serve—comes to fruition thanks to the hospital’s nearly 2,500 caring, dedicated employees.
