Premier Health - Good Samaritan Hospital

In 1932, these values drove a committed group of nuns, citizens, and area leaders to bring much-needed health care services to the Dayton community with the newly opened Good Samaritan Hospital. And while the original Good Samaritan Hospital no longer remains, those values continue to be infused throughout Premier Health today.

The Origins

In 1928, the city of Dayton partnered with the Sisters of Charity in Cincinnati to raise $1 million to finance the construction of Good Samaritan Hospital. The Sisters were (and still are) widely recognized for their health care expertise, as well as their noble values. The hospital opened in 1932, thanks not only to the Sisters’ efforts, but those of the businesses and citizens of Dayton as well. Each had worked together to make their shared vision a reality, with the latest in health care technology now available to Dayton residents.
