In 1951, Hancock Memorial Hospital opened its doors on the site donated by Mrs. George M Andis.
Named in honor of Fannie Andis, who donated the land for Hancock Regional Hospital, the Andis Women's and Children's department provides a continuum of quality healthcare that meets the special needs of children and women's health from adolescence through maturity.
The Andis Women's and Children's department is dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Fannie Andis, one of the original founders who proposed the idea for Hancock Memorial Hospital in December 1944. Mrs. Andis had lost her only child and always felt that if there had been a hospital in Hancock County, her child might have lived.
In 2005, Hancock Memorial Hospital was renamed Hancock Regional Hospital.

After World War II, Fannie Olvey Andis deeded 638 acres of farm land that represented the life savings of three generations of two families, to the Earlham College of Richmond, IN. Earlham received a net of $181,250 for the land and used the money to complete the construction of a woman's residence hall. In appreciation for the gift, the hall was named the Olvey-Andis Residence Hall. (letter from Opal Thornburg, Historian, Earlham College, to Linda Olvey Tucker, dtd. 10 Jul 1968.)
