Aultman Hospital is a non-profit hospital located in Canton, Ohio. It is the largest hospital and second largest employer, with over 5000 employees, in Stark County.
In January 1890, Mrs. Elizabeth Harter, daughter of Cornelius Aultman, purchased 4.5 acres of land in the southwest end of Canton. The hospital opened its doors on Jan. 17, 1892.
In 1925, the Harter Building was constructed, adding 100 beds to the 40-room hospital. The McKinley Building opened in 1944, expanding the facility by another 106 beds. Three years later, another 117 beds were added by the opening of the Harter Annex. In 1954, the Main Building and the Morrow House were completed. The Main Building replaced the hospital's original structure and included 139 additional beds. Currently, the hospital boasts 682 beds and 530 active physicians in 43 specialties.
