•Mon Marion Neighborhood Hospital Ribbon Cutting•

Mon Health System held a ribbon cutting today for its new Mon Health Marion Neighborhood Hospital in Marion County.

In addition to local and state dignitaries and community providers, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va and U.S. Health and Human Resources Secretary Xavier Becerra were on hand to applaud Mon Health’s commitment to improve community access to care that bucks the nationwide trend of rural hospitals closing. 

“From the very beginning, the people of White Hall and greater Marion County community welcomed us with wide open arms, and we cannot express strongly enough how grateful we are for the overwhelming support,” said Mon Health System President & CEO David Goldberg. “There is a clear desire in this region for more high-quality, patient-centered health care options, and we are confident that when our hospital opens, it will exceed your expectations in every way.” 

The Mon Health Marion Neighborhood Hospital is what’s known as a small-format hospital, meaning that it offers a smaller number of beds than a traditional hospital, but still brings high-level services such as a 24-hour emergency care unit, overnight hospitalization services, on-site diagnostic testing and imaging, and laboratory services and 10 inpatient beds. Located at the Middletown Commons in White Hall, Mon Health Marion Neighborhood Hospital will officially open its doors to the community on December 14.
