About Healora Hospital
For almost three decades we have cared for Springfield families: expert doctors, modern technology and the time to listen, under one roof.
Our Story
Caring for Springfield since 1998
Healora began as a 40-bed community hospital on Lakeview Road, founded by a group of local doctors who wanted specialist care close to home.
Today two branches, eleven departments and more than 1,200 staff care for over 300,000 patients a year – and every one of them still gets a doctor who explains the plan in plain words.

I was incredibly nervous about my treatment, but the entire team made me feel comfortable and at ease. They addressed all my questions with patience and care. The results have been life-changing, and I can’t thank them enough!
Amara JohnsonCardiology TreatmentFrom the moment we arrived, the pediatric team treated our daughter like family. They explained every test in words she could understand, and she actually asked when she could come back.
