The hospital has been there in one form or another for 150 years! Theirs was the first medical school in the US to do bedside teaching of medical students, and the first to use the stethoscope routinely. American medicine was a complete joke before such measures were popularized, and any serious student had to go to Europe for an education.
It's a shame that greed can so quickly ruin the place, and that the corporate overlords have forgotten LICH's heritage.
