History

Sue Hagaman, citizen of Decatur, publicly advocated for the building of a community hospital to accommodate births. She approached Decatur doctor, Dr. William Barnes, who was instrumental in the planning and completion of the hospital. For 15 years, they planned, organized community members, and raised funds. On January 1, 1916, Decatur and Macon County Hospital opened its doors to patients.[5] The name was changed to Decatur Memorial Hospital in 1968. DMH became an EMS Resource Hospital in November of 2023 and serves prehospital EMS agencies in Central Illinois. Decatur Memorial EMS protocols can be found at memorial.health/protocols. [6]
