Southview Hospital
In the early 1970s, it became apparent that communities south of Dayton were medically-underserved, giving rise to the idea of an outpatient facility which could meet the growing demand for medical care. In 1978, Grandview opened the Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) on State Route 725 one-half mile east of the Dayton Mall), winning recognition as the first facility in the state to be devoted exclusively to comprehensive outpatient care.

A comprehensive study in 1981 revealed that more than half of Grandview's inpatients were coming from outside the city of Dayton and that more than a third were from as far away as Warren and Greene counties. These results prompted the decision to move 56 of Grandview's beds to a new wing at the ACC.

So, in 1983, a new 56-bed inpatient wing was dedicated and the ACC was renamed Southview Hospital and Family Health Center. Southview now offers a wide variety of medical services, including emergency care, intensive care, surgery, physical medicine, respiratory care, radiology services and a clinical laboratory. In 1998, the Southview Hospital Women's Center Maternity Unit opened, featuring state-of-art care for mother and newborns. The Dayton Sports Medicine Institute, based at Southview, offers the area's only year-round sports medicine clinic. And, the Stereotactic Breast Biopsy System at Southview is the first in the Dayton/Cincinnati area to receive accreditation from the American College of Radiology, which is voluntary.

Today, the hospital's service area includes not only communities south of Dayton but also counties surrounding the greater Dayton area.
