Why Memorial Hospital in Lawrence Was Built
The Lawrence Memorial Hospital's name honors WWI memories, funded by Red Cross donations from the war era. Citizens like Robert Rankin pushed for a charity hospital serving all residents, as Lawrence then had only three small private hospitals. Funds supported by the Red Cross financed the project via local health and social service groups.
