Mission: Marietta memorial hospital is a not-for-profit community hospital where service excellence and clinical quality create the region's best experience for patients and their families, physicians, the community and our employees.
Programs: During the twelve months ending september 30, 2017 the hospital provided 46,129 inpatient care days, 196,077 hours of observation care, 14,338 surgical cases, 83,009 physical therapy procedures, 70,909 emergency visits, 755 deliveries, 35,824 chemotherapy treatments, 13,174 radiation treatments, 14,270 wound care visits, 1,141 cardiac catherizations and 197,597 imaging procedures. Marietta memorial believes in more than providing the best local healthcare. We believe in investing in our community, supporting our neighbors, our families and friends. Our commitment is truly to our community - as an employer, as a corporate citizen and as a community resource and as a healthcare provider. To that end, the hospital, its physicians, staff and volunteers extend themselves well beyond patient care. We provide community clinical support services, wellness education, programs, support groups, financial support to local organizations, and our own personal time to ensure the highest quality of life for everyone within our community. We call it giving back. Part of our mission extends to wellness education and health prevention. We speak out in our community, we sponsor support groups, we provide dozens of wellness programs and we provide monthly opportunities for free and/or low cost health screenings. The hospital supports partnerships, community health coalitions, area chambers of commerce, local not-for-profit organizations, local schools and governments. Additionally, many of our staff members, physicians and volunteers donate their time to serve on local boards, committees, and associations. We provide opportunities for local students to train within our hospital under various educational programs and agreements with area school systems. This serves both the students and the community as it often increases our supply of local health care workers.
