Lakewood General Hospital, more commonly known as Lakewood General, is the primary healthcare institution serving the town of Lakewood.
During the 2015 – 2016 Lakewood murders, the hospital was a hub of activity for victims recovering from attacks by the masked killers and, more often, as a repository for the many victims who didn’t survive their encounters with Ghostface.

History
For the first century and change after its founding, Lakewood didn’t have a public hospital. Beginning in the late 19th century, the Sisters of the White Flower operated an infirmary out of their motherhouse outside of town. The current hospital was built in the early 20th century, during Lakewood’s industrial boom under the mayorship of Ellis Maddox.
