Lodi Memorial Hospital is a private, not-for-profit hospital that strives to improve the quality of life in the community it serves - both in and beyond the hospital walls. As a non-profit, unaffiliated hospital, Lodi Memorial Hospital is able to reinvest in talent and technology to ensure patients receive quality and very personal care.
Since April of 1952 when the hospital doors first opened, until today, Lodi Memorial Hospital has evolved to meet the growing and changing community's need. In 1952, there were 14,000 residents in Lodi. Today there are 65,000, and the area served beyond Lodi's boundaries has grown to a quarter million people. In 1952, most of the population paid directly for care.
Today, employers via HMOs pay for most people's health care; and the majority of those individuals whose health care isn't covered by their employers are uninsured. That makes for a challenging environment.
