Dunn Memorial Hospital

The Lawrence County Hospital Association was organized in Bedford on July 15, 1903, to build, maintain, and manage a hospital. Its first building opened in 1904. On October 22, 1941, state, district, and local Works Progress Administration officials and city and county officials approved and turned over the hospital's third building to Lawrence County. Open house and public tours were held on October 23, 1941. The state WPA regarded it as one of the "most beautiful building construction jobs ever completed in the state by WPA workers." Removal of patients and equipment from the second building was completed on November 1, 1941. An addition was started in 1949, and a major modernization and expansion of the hospital was dedicated on May 9, 1982.
