A Look Back

 Founders
The doors to "Dayton Osteopathic Hospital," opened in 1926. The three physicians at 325 West Second
Street were William Gravett D.O., Heber Dill D.O., and Frank Dilatush D.O.
Larger Hospital Needed
In 1947 a site on Grand Avenue was purchased and a 65-bed hospital was dedicated. Two years later a
new wing was added, increasing the number of beds to 90.
Dayton Residents Raise Funds For Expansion
In 1950 a public campaign was initiated to raise funds providing a total of $450,000. With these
funds, Grandview built a new addition increasing the number of beds to 165 and 21 bassinets.
More Space Needed
A maternity wing was added by the late 1950's along with medical library, conference hall, and
additional office space. This space was soon outgrown and in November of 1962 two new floors were
opened. The new bed total was 301 and 56 bassinets.
Growth Continues
A $5.5 million project was completed in 1971 and 66 beds were added. The main buildings were connected
to the Annex and still more space was needed. In 1984 a six-story addition was completed.
As the times have changed so has Grandview. Our staff is here to care for you in attractive,
semi-private rooms. In addition, Grandview boasts the largest number of primary care physicians in
our area which means more physicians for you to choose from. Grandview currently has 411 number of
beds and many additional services including weight loss surgery, cardiac cath, joint replacement
surgery, stroke certified ER services and an award winning sports medicine program.
