In 1911 he began a medical practice at South Bend, State of Washington. Soon after, he was one of two physicians who built the Riverview Hospital in nearby Raymond, Wash. The hospital, which the two physicians operated together, opened in 1913, and was “Raymond’s primary medical facility from 1915 to 1961,” having at its height of service 50-60 beds. When after some years his colleague left Raymond, Dr Maclennan continued to operate the hospital till, after practising medicine in Raymond for nearby a quarter century, he left for California in 1935. There he lived in Pasadena, where he practised medicine, and in Hemet, where the elderly retired physician was found dead in his house, the victim probably of a heart attack. (two children)

In 1922 he was awarded the Fellowship degree of F. A. C. S. by the American College of Surgeons. In 1958, Dr Maclennan, then of Pasadena, donated $5000 to Char-Lan High School, Williamstown, to establish a new library in memory of his father.
