McLaren Flint Hospital began in 1919 as a community non-profit hospital when Dr. Lucy Elliot, and Lillian Girard, RN, decided their 10-bed facility needed to expand. Later that year, with funding assistance from various civic groups, a six-acre site at 1900 Lapeer Street was acquired. The brick residence on that site was converted to accommodate 29 patient beds and was named the Women's Hospital. Today, with a 100-year legacy of clinical excellence and compassionate, patient-focused care, McLaren Flint is now a 378-bed teaching hospital and continues to be Mid-Michigan’s leading health care provider.
It was at that time, when Dr. Lucy Elliot, and Lillian Girard, RN were busy building relationships and raising money, that the Foundation began. Today, the McLaren Flint Foundation continues to invest in programs and services that meet the needs of our community.
