Our History
Fort Hamilton Hospital – built by the community, for the community
In 1925 a group of dedicated citizens known as the Fort Hamilton Hospital Association came together to create a new hospital in Hamilton. With donations from more than 8,000 residents, the group was able to accomplish the amazing feat of raising $500,000 in just two weeks. This generous financial support enabled Fort Hamilton Hospital to begin serving patients in May of 1929.
Meeting your health care needs - right here at home 
Butler County--or outside of Hamilton--for the most advanced level of health care. Today Fort Hamilton Hospital is a full-service, community hospital licensed for 310 beds. Fort Hamilton Hospital combines modern technology and highly skilled physicians with a friendly, easy to navigate facility. Here are just a few examples:
- State-of-the art intensive care unit, completed in 2006, with round-the-clock internists availability
- Interventional cardiology services, including cardiac catheterizations, balloon angioplasty and stents, provided by a team of highly trained cardiologist and clinical staff
- The most advanced wound healing center in Butler County, with two hyperbaric oxygen chambers, offering a comprehensive program that includes state-of-the-art treatment for non-healing wounds. We are staffed with a unique team of doctors, nurses and therapists who have had intense training in the latest advancements of healing chronic wounds.
- An anticoagulation center, providing monitoring for patients who take blood thinners for a medical condition or after major surgery. The service offers extensive, individualized care and education to help patients achieve the best possible outcome. Results are immediate, as is adjustment in therapy, if necessary.
- One convenient entrance for outpatient services like MRI, CT scan, radiology (X-ray), picking up X-ray films and reports, pre-admission testing, women's health services, endoscopy and same-day surgery.
A promising future
We continue to lead the way to better health in our community by broadening our scope of services, providing the newest health care technology and enhancing overall patient care. Our latest project is the newly opened enlarged and improved patient care space and technology in our Gebhart Center for Cancer Care.
In another major project, we are renovating and relocating several services to be more convenient to you. Once this project is complete, outpatient physical therapy, the wound healing center and anticoagulation services will be located just a few steps from an outside entrance, making it easier for you to access these advanced therapies.
Additional technological upgrades, increased and renovated patient care space and new physician relationships are allowing us to better serve you. We also provide numerous more opportunities for our community to participate in hospital-sponsored events that focus on health promotion and wellness education.
