O'Bleness Memorial Hospital—formerly Sheltering Arms Hospital—has provided healthcare services to the residents of southeastern Ohio since 1921.
Sheltering Arms Hospital was established in Athens, Ohio, on May 21, 1921, when two rooms of the Charles and Delia Breinig home on Clark Street became a lying-in hospital for maternity patients. The hospital came about at the suggestion of Dr. John R. Sprague with strong endorsement by Dr. Blaine R. Goldsberry. At that time, area residents received healthcare services in physicians' offices or in their homes because there was no hospital.
