Our Flood Story

On June 7, 2008, Columbus Regional Hospital experienced a disaster on a scale few other hospitals have survived - a flood of historic magnitude severely damaged the hospital, prompting the evacuation of 157 patients, and forcing us to close our doors for the first time in our 90 year history.

The flooding caused over $180 million in damages and destroyed several critical functions, including our laboratory, pharmacy, information services, food services, and mechanical and electrical systems.

Our commitment to patients and each other held steadfast during the hospital closure as our physicians and staff spread out into the community to care for patients at area hospitals, serve at community centers, and help not only Columbus Regional Hospital but the entire city of Columbus recover and rebuild from the devastating flood.

On October 27, 2008, less than five months after the flooding, we opened the doors to our new and improved facility and renewed our commitment to serving the families of our region. Watch our story of how we responded to a crisis and renewed our commitment to excellence in the aftermath of the flood.

Today, we are stronger and more committed than ever to the core value of Columbus Regional Hospital - to be the best in the country at everything we do.
