Proven Medical Care in Grant County
In healthcare, awards are given to hospitals and clinics as proof of the
high quality of care that can be found there. At Marion Health, we are
immensely proud of the numerous awards and accreditations our rural hospital
has received over the years. Though we are a rural hospital, we have received
acclaim on both local and national levels for our outstanding services,
excellent patient outcomes, and the compassionate, dedicated care provided
by our staff.
