canopy and ambulance entrance will be redesigned. The new design features 40 total ED examination rooms. Another aspect of the renovation will be to improve the sense of urgency in ED sta by focusing on patient care and being aware of how long a procedure takes to complete, thus decreasing the total time the patient spends at the hospital.

West Marion Community Hospital recently had a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open its new floor, representing 44 more patient rooms. The hospital recently completed the following expansions to meet the needs of the community: an expanded and renovated emergency room, an additional nine emergency room beds, an additional 44 inpatient rooms, four additional operating rooms and an additional 212 parking spaces.
