Lakeview Hospital celebrates 50 years of serving the community

By Becky Ginos

BOUNTIFUL—It was 50 years ago that Lakeview Hospital opened its doors in Bountiful. The decision to build Lakeview came about because of the overcrowding at South Davis Community Hospital that was built in 1961. The new hospital was built to serve the growing needs of the Davis County community.
