In operation at 19 Clarke Street from 1921 until 1970, Sheltering Arms moved into a new facility in 1970 named the Charles G. O’Bleness Memorial Hospital, and was renamed the OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital when it became part of OhioHealth (Columbus, OH) in 2014.

In the early 1920s, Charles Breinig, a contractor, and his wife Delia used their home as a lying-in facility,[2] where women gave birth and rested for several days.

Encouraged by Dr. John E. Rollings Sprague, the Breinings built a four-room addition in 1921 and became the Sheltering Arms Hospital.

Morgan later donated the facility to the community through The Sheltering Arms Foundation, which was started in 1949.

[7] The original Sheltering Arms building is a two-story, irregular shaped brick structure built in 1911, with several additions through 1939.
