Opened on November 5, 1973, [2] the legacy of the hospital can be traced back to the 1940s when multiple committees were formed to study the possibility of a medical facility in Clermont County. Local businessman J. Kermit Smith partnered with the Sisters of Mercy to form a County Commission and move the idea forward. In 1970 county voters approved an initiative to build a hospital. Construction began in 1972 and the hospital opened in 1973. [3]
