Sue Andersen
President/CEO
Marian Hospital
Sue Andersen spoke to us about the history and current status of Marian Hospital. From it's humble beginnings in 1940 founded by the Sisters of St. Francis, to the state of the art facility that it has become today. Just as an example of their health care provisions, last year they took care of over 1,750 Covid patients. They had 87,000 ER visits that they cared for. Being at the top of their game has resulted in Marian being named one of the top 250 hospitals in the country. We are very proud and honored to have them as a major health provider in our community.
