What’s at Stake
CONCLUSION
PROVIDING OTHER IMPORTANT
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS
• Medical and Nursing Education: MGH is committed
to expanding knowledge and enhancing the
careers of our healthcare workforce, and does so
through funding medical and nursing educational
reimbursement programs, tuition loan forgiveness
programs, and supporting continued education and
certification attainment. In the past two (2) years,
MGH has spent over $2,500,000 in health professional
education.
MGH is a key ingredient to our community’s quality of
life and in keeping our community healthy and vibrant.
MGH is a major contributor to our economy and to keeping
families healthy and secure by providing needed
healthcare services.
MGH’s future is “at risk” based on changes occurring in
healthcare. Local access to quality care is not guaranteed
in the future. Therefore, we urge our community leaders,
elected officials, and businesses to recognize that MGH
is instrumental to supporting our economy and attracting
new business; therefore, continued support of MGH
is critical to our community’s future.
• Recruitment of Physicians and Health
Professionals: MGH is proud of its quality of care, its
caring and compassion for its patients, and its healthcare
excellence achieved by our team of employees,
medical staff, volunteers, and contract staff. All of
which has led to accreditations, accolades, and awards
from local, state, national, and worldwide peers and
healthcare organizations. This level of excellence
is a critical factor in the recruitment of physicians,
nurses, and other healthcare professionals to the area.
• Professional-Looking Campus: MGH takes pride in
creating an aesthetically beautiful and professionallooking
campus in landscape design, smoke-free
environment, and continuous improvement in our
properties. Area businesses highlight MGH and our
campus when showing positive aspects of Marion
and Grant County to prospective new businesses.
