History

Miami Valley Hospital, or MVH for short, opened as the Protestant Deaconess Hospital in 1890. In 1895, the hospital treated patients for an average cost of 74 cents per patient per day. The hospital charged five dollars a week for a private room and whatever the patient could afford in the public wards. Dayton’s first emergency room was opened beneath the main surgery floor in 1912. MVH also established outpatient clinic in 1913 in response to the aftermath of the 1913 flood. From the 1920s to the 1950s, the hospital saw the most advancements in expansion and additions. As the hospital made advancments in care, in 1952, MVH opened the Radioisotope Laboratory, a forerunner to nuclear medicine. MVH was the first non-university hospital in Ohio to be authorized by the Atomic Energy Commission to use radioactive materials in research and patient care. In 1983, MVH's first air ambulance was put into service, CareFlight, which made rapid emergency transport available within a 75-mile (121 km) radius.[9] By its second year, CareFlight was averaging more than one transport every day. CareFlight operates three helicopters, based at the hospital main campus in Dayton, Lebanon-Warren County Airport,and Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio.[10]

In 2010, the Neurological Institute at Miami Valley Hospital was established. The neurological institute is in partnership with Premier Health Partners and Wright State University. The Center focuses on the treatment, diagnosis, and research of neurological disorders.[11]
