No one plans to be sick - or to get hurt. So we provide Emergency Services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our Emergency Department is equipped to handle most emergencies - and our affiliation with Adena Regional Medical Center means that access to specialists and regional-level care is readily available.
Adena Health System's relationships with tertiary-care providers’ means patients with major trauma or other high-intensity needs can be transported via helicopter or ambulance to those centers in Cincinnati,Columbus or Dayton.
At Greenfield Area Medical Center, we are committed to providing quality healthcare services to area employers. Our Occupational Health program is designed to meet your needs either on-site or at our facility.
Occupational Health is a occupational health and wellness program that strives to meet the individual needs of the industry. Many of our services can be customized to meet your needs. Qualified staff members are available for all services.
- Pre-employment physicals
- DOT physicals
- Drug screening – DOT and Non-DOT

A more intense program available for area employers is on-site physical rehabilitation. Therapists provide treatment and education to employees under physician supervision on-site. This is a positive and beneficial experience for both the patient and therapist. Being on-site allows the therapist to experience and observe first hand what occurs in the patient’s daily job activities. Another important benefit is that the patient is away from his/her job for a shorter period of time because travel has been eliminated.

A minimum of three hours of therapy a day is provided to patients during their stay. Therapy is provided Monday through Saturday, with the exception of holidays.

Treatment at Greenfield Area Medical Center is not limited to four walls. The rehab unit offers two unique programs for our patients.
Our enabling garden was established in 1997. This innovative way of combining treatment with nature has been very rewarding for our patients and therapists. Patients enjoy working in the garden and many times are not aware of the great benefits that they are receiving. A variety of stimulating activities is centered on the beauty of nature in our tranquil garden. As the seasons change, anticipation accompanies each new discovery.
Our community re-entry program is a combined effort of therapists and local business owners. The structure of the program is so that the patient is able to venture outside of the hospital setting. This outing allows the patient to address any fears that they may have in returning to the community setting. The outing provides opportunity for the patient to use what they have learned during their rehab stay. Two staff members, for support, accompany the patient. This helps to aid them in determining the patient’s readiness for discharge.

The two-story structure, known as the Boggess home, served as Greenfield’s hospital for approximately 74 years. The house, built in the mid 1800’s, became the local hospital in 1918. Over the years the hospital had many additions and changes. However, in 1992 the most significant change occurred when the old house was demolished to make way for a modern healthcare facility.
Stories regarding the construction of the stately house are somewhat unclear. Information dated 1859 indicates that Daniel Hull contracted with a construction company from Chillicothe to build a large home on a wooded lot on the edge of town. The home, while still under construction, was sold to John Eckman, a highly respected man who served on the village’s first town council. It is presumed that Hull didn’t have enough money to complete the project. Eckman and his family occupied the home for many years. In 1890, Dr. John Boggess, a dentist, purchased the home. It was Boggess who added the familiar front porch to the structure.
"Later the need for a hospital became apparent. Joe Caldwell, who had acquired title to the Boggess property, agreed to sell the land to the Greenfield Hospital Co. around year 1918," reads a past Greenfield Daily Times article.
In 1933, Mrs. Florence Bobo, a registered nurse, managed the facility and operated it until November of 1941. She gave up management at that time and the hospital closed. However, the need for a hospital in the community was soon recognized and the citizens of Greenfield approved a bond issue for reopening the facility. After remodeling and re-equipping, Greenfield Municipal Hospital opened on January 14, 1945.
Over the years, Greenfield Municipal Hospital grew. To accommodate the growth in inpatient care, a new wing was built 1959. Another addition occurred in 1961.
In 1980, the hospital requested to be released from its municipal status to become a private nonprofit corporation. On January 1, 1981 the hospital became known as Greenfield Area Medical Center.
The early 1980’s were a period of significant growth at GAMC. The surgical department opened in 1982, home health services were begun in 1983 and 1984 introduced the physical rehab unit.
In the late 1980’s the Hospital’s Board of Trustees recognized the need for a modern, efficient hospital facility to support the on-going provision of healthcare services in the Greenfield community. A new hospital was planned at a cost in excess of $4,000,000. The project included demolition of the original house and much of the existing hospital structure.
In 1989 a capital campaign was initiated, with the goal of raising $300,000. The community, along with the hospital family, rallied for an intense fundraising period between August and December 1989. A variety of special events were held as well as general solicitation. Through the generosity of the community, the campaign exceeded its goal, raising a little over $323,000.
Groundbreaking for the new hospital facility, which was built in sections around the existing hospital, was held on January 31, 1991. Construction began the next day. The new building was built in phases allowing the hospital to remain fully operational throughout the project. The two story home that housed the hospital for many years and had seen many patients, employees, visitors, volunteers and physicians come and go was finally demolished on Monday, February 17, 1992. The destruction of the house was the last phase in the renovation project, which was completed in October 1992.
In 1994, the hospital’s rehab services received approval from the state of Ohio for additional beds. A remodeling and renovation project once again ensued to meet the needs of the population served. This project allowed the rehab unit to increase the number of beds from 10 to 16. Continued success in the department forced the outpatient services to relocate to an off-site facility in the fall of 1995.
In 1996, Home Health offices also moved to an off -site location to better accommodate the program.
There is no doubt that Greenfield Area Medical Center will continue to change as it adapts to its ever-changing environment. One thing that remains constant however, is the hospital’s commitment to provision of quality healthcare services to Greenfield and surrounding communities.
