A Message from our CEO
Our facility is often referred to as “the Britton hospital,” and we are a licensed 20-bed critical access hospital, but with the Wellness Center, Clinic, Spruce Court, and a variety of outpatient services, we are also much, much MORE than that.
For instance, it may surprise you to learn that we are one of Marshall County’s largest employers, with approximately 90 staff members. I believe that our people are our greatest asset. These patient, caring, and fun individuals strive to greet everyone who comes through the door of our facility with the “Warmest Of Welcomes.” “WOW” is what we call our customer service program, and our philosophy is that everyone who comes through our door is our guest, including patients, visitors, residents, vendors, coworkers, etc.
Our goal is to “WOW” our guests by treating them as we would our friends or family members. We take pride in providing a wide range of health care services to the people of Marshall County, and we hope you are proud to have Marshall County Healthcare Center as your local healthcare facility.
Sincerely,
Nick Fosness, CEO
