About

Pomerene


The Joel Pomerene Hospital Company was established in 1919 as a not-for-profit corporation with the goal of building a hospital in Holmes County. County taxpayers later passed a 1.5-mil levy to supplement the money donated by the Pomerene family to build the Holmes County Joel Pomerene Memorial Hospital, which opened its doors on June 1, 1937, as a county hospital. The original facility began with a 6 bed women's ward, a 3 bed men's ward, 6 private rooms, a 3 bed OB ward, along with a nursery with 5 cribs. Initially, there were 10 physicians on staff at the hospital.


Today, Pomerene Hospital is an independent, private, not-for-profit rural community hospital.  Pomerene employs more than 325 employees while maintaining a medical staff with 80+ physicians. After several major renovations and expansion projects, the hospital facility has 3 floors as well as more than 30 departments and services. Pomerene is one of the largest employers in Holmes County and serves the greater Holmes County area including residents living in all contiguous counties.
