History of Healthcare in Lucas County
An open invitation to LCHC Board meetings.
Lucas County has a rich heritage of quality healthcare, beginning with the arrival of two brothers-William D. Waynick, M. D., and Wyatt W. Waynick, M. D., in June, 1848. From those pioneering family doctors to Lucas County's first private hospital operated by Dr. Albert Yocum to the cutting edge medical teams of 2000, residents have long reaped the benefits of a strong tradition of healthcare excellence. Lucas County Health Center is the most recent example of Lucas County residents’ commitment to providing quality healthcare locally.
