Lake Regional Health System will be opening a new campus in Lebanon in 2022. Among current services, the facility will house a rehabilitation therapy center.
The campus will be on 755 Cowan Drive, near I-44 exit 130, for easy access to the hospital.
It’s all possible because of a land donation last year by the Williams Family Trust. Lebanon residents Bill and Janet Williams donated the 12.5 acre tract of land.
The facility will be two stories tall and 30,000 square feet. Groundbreaking is planned for spring.

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — Lake Regional Health System announces plans to open a new Lebanon campus in 2022. This campus, located at 755 Cowan Drive, near I-44 Exit 130, will include all of the services Lake Regional currently provides in Lebanon, as well as a few additions.
“Lake Regional is committed to caring for Lebanon, and this new campus will provide greater convenience for our patients, along with excellent care from people who are fully invested in this community,” said Lake Regional CEO Dane W. Henry, FACHE.
Currently, Lake Regional’s services in Lebanon include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, walk-in care, occupational medicine, orthopedics and cardiology. The new location also will house rehabilitation therapies.
The construction project began taking shape following a donation by The Williams Family Trust last year. Lebanon residents Bill and Janet C. Williams donated a portion of the 12.5-acre tract where Lake Regional plans to build the two-story, 30,000-square-foot facility.
“We were honored to receive this gift from a local family who, like our team, wants greater access to top-quality health care services in the community,” Henry said.
Lake Regional’s commitment to Lebanon stems from the close ties its providers and employees have to the area. The health system first began offering services in Lebanon in 2017 and has continually expanded to meet the community’s needs.
“Our care team is local; they have roots here,” Henry said. “They are excited to build a healthier future for their friends and neighbors.”
The primary care team — Drs. Neil Schwartzman and Jeffrey Fears, and Nurse Practitioners Dan Johnson and Laura Seaman — and Express Care provider Ryan Rogers, P.A., have long cared for patients from Lebanon and the surrounding area, even before joining Lake Regional Health System.
“We are so excited for the new Lebanon campus,” said Laura Seaman, FNP, who provides care for all ages at Lake Regional Clinic – Lebanon. “I don’t know what says commitment more than putting in bricks and mortar right here in town.”
In addition to completing the land agreement, Lake Regional already has taken several first steps on the construction project, including permitting by the City of Lebanon and initial clearing of the property. Groundbreaking is planned for this spring, with a goal of opening the facility in 2022. Lebanon-based True Construction Inc. has been named the project’s general contractor.
“Our vision for Lebanon is to continue building relationships and to offer quality health care from providers the community knows and trusts,” Henry said. “Our commitment to Lebanon runs deep.”
According to a statement from the City of Lebanon, the mayor welcomes the construction project.
“Since 2017, Lake Regional has provided the citizens of Lebanon and the surrounding area great health care and with their new facility their services will be able to grow to provide even more in the future,” said Mayor Jared Carr. “Lebanon is grateful to Lake Regional Health System for their commitment to the health of our community.”
