West Marion Community Hospital stands as a 323-bed community hospital in Marion County, and folks find all kinds of care there day and night, since it's a place with 24/7 emergency services, five freestanding ERs-HCA Florida Foxwood Emergency, Silver Springs Emergency, Summerfield Emergency, Maricamp Emergency, and Trailwinds Village Emergency-and a full-service main hospital ER open to all ages, so no matter how small or big a problem comes along, you can get help. The hospital's got everything from inpatient and outpatient care for all sorts of conditions, whether someone needs a cast put on in the orthopedic joint care center (Marion County's only inpatient one), knee or hip replacement, robotic surgery, or advanced care after a stroke in their Comprehensive Stroke Center, with special emergency room units ready for cardiovascular and neurological care, so nobody needing help with the heart or brain gets overlooked. You'll find specialists ranging from proctologists and psychiatrists to orthopedic nurses and internal medicine practitioners, and all sorts of modern things like digital x-rays, casting, durable medical equipment, imaging centers, outpatient rehab, and departments for every condition you can think of, with amenities for patient comfort-air conditioning, WiFi, spacious restrooms, wheelchair access, and onsite parking-which button up small things that matter during a tough time.
The hospital has all private rooms in its 222-bed unit, and people who need a little extra help can find physical therapy, a Wound Care Center, a Hyperbaric Center, cancer treatments with the only Commission on Cancer-accredited oncology care in Marion County, and a full program for cardiovascular diagnosis, surgery, and recovery, so those going through tough treatments aren't left wondering where to turn, plus there's bariatric services and metabolic surgery accreditation if weight loss or metabolism are concerns. West Marion also offers women's care in a spa-like setting for more comfort, with gynecologists and specialists straight from their own women's unit, and their QuickCare extension of the ER helps handle minor emergencies fast, with self-check-in kiosks and a Care Path service to cut down on wait times for folks with less serious problems. The place has inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehab programs-including the "Take Charge" program recognized by the AACVPR-and works to keep folks out of the hospital again with efforts to cut down readmissions, value-based care, and prevention programs.
Infection prevention is real strong, too; the hospital's reported rates for Clostridium difficile, MRSA, surgical site infections after colon surgery, urinary tract infections from catheters, and central line infections were all zero from July 2021 to June 2024, and the same careful attention shows up in their fall and injury numbers, air or gas bubbles in blood, and objects left inside after surgery, all posted for public view along with early elective delivery rates, mortality rates, and readmission rates, so anyone wanting to see outcomes and errors can find them. Patients also get asked about their experience through HCAHPS, so there's feedback from folks who've been there themselves. The hospital uses advanced technology systems, keeps a focus on costs for joint and heart care, and handles everything from robotic and radiological surgery to immunizations, blood clot prevention, and dedicated oncology and urology care.
People can also expect regular help from orthopaedic specialists, nurses for every unit, and immediate treatment for injuries or health problems, as well as special programs like the American College of Cardiology Accredited Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI and a Level I trauma center status from the American College of Surgeons, recognized as Level II by the Florida Department of Health, which shows another layer of readiness for serious emergencies. Awards from places like the American Stroke Association and Healthgrades for orthopedic, spine, and stroke care also back up what's happening day to day. All in all, folks using West Marion Community Hospital can find specialized departments, advanced treatment options, private rooms, comfort-focused amenities, published results on safety and satisfaction, and helpful staff with experience for whatever health issue might crop up.
