Awards & Accreditations

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 General Hospital, 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.
