MRMC Launches New Website

Magnolia Regional Medical Center launched a new and improved website this week. The site features an updated design and a wealth of information for both patients and visitors.


The site, located at magnoliarmc.org highlights some of the most popular pages within the site and includes links and information for most every department in the hospital.

"I am so excited to see this site go live," says Karen Weido, MRMC Marketing Director. "We have been working towards a more user-friendly online experience for quite some time."

Visitors to the new MRMC homepage can do more than just obtain medical information. By clicking on the "Careers" tab, job seekers can now see what positions are available and even complete their application online.

An updated "Physician Finder" allows visitors to look for physicians based on either location or specialty.  And of course, the ever popular Cafeteria Menu is easy to locate right from the homepage.

A new feature, the Events tab, allows visitors to see all upcoming events the hospital has planned. In some cases, such as child birth classes, visitors can register for those events right on the website as well.

"We really want this new site to be something the public can utilize when seeking information about the many services MRMC provides. I will be adding and updating information on a regular basis and would love feedback or suggestions from site visitors," says Weido.

MRMC contracted with In10sity for design and content management on the new site.

MRMC Kicks Off 75th Year of Service

Magnolia Regional Medical Center is looking forward to celebrating 75 years of service in 2014.  The hospital, originally named Magnolia City Hospital, opened its doors in 1939 as a small inpatient hospital.  As health care progressed throughout the years the hospital continued to add services and equipment.

In 2010 the hospital changed its name to Magnolia Regional Medical Center and made the move into the new state-of-the-art facility that serves Magnolia and surrounding communities today.

"It is such an exciting time in health care and we are looking forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary," stated Margaret West, CEO.

In honor of the 75th anniversary, a new logo will be used throughout the facility and in advertising during 2014.  The logo was designed by Bekah Kee of Magnolia.

MRMC Celebrates 75 Year of Service | #mrmc75

The 75th anniversary celebration begins with the Foundation Gala this Saturday night.  The celebration will conclude with party-type ceremony in December.

"We have searched archived documents and from what we found it appears that the doors opened on December 5, 1939," stated Karen Weido, Marketing Director. "We will hold community events throughout the year to celebrate, but will plan a big celebration in December."

Throughout the year MRMC will also use #MRMC75 to highlight events and stories. The community is encouraged to share their memories and stories using the hashtag as well.

MRMC Foundation Announces Annual Gala Event

The Magnolia Regional Medical Center Foundation is pleased to announce the theme for the 2014 fundraising gala.  In honor of MRMC’s seventy-five year commitment to Magnolia, the Foundation proudly presents 75 Strong.   The evening will include a seated dinner, musical entertainment by The Groove Agents and a spirited auction.   Festivities will begin at 6:00 pm at the Story Hog Haven on January 4, 2014. Proceeds from the night will be used to purchase necessary equipment for the Labor and Delivery Department of the hospital.  The equipment will allow physicians and clinical experts to securely view the fetal monitor strip of their patient in real time.  It will also decrease time required by the nurses to manually transfer data and keep our information current at all times.  Seating is limited.

The MRMC Foundation continues to work for the overall health of our community by fundraising efforts to support the projects of MRMC.   The Foundation was instrumental in the construction of a wellness park earlier this year.  The park provides resources to promote a culture of health, wellness and the prevention of disease.  As a qualified 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, all gifts to the foundation are 100% tax deductible.

The Foundation office is located on the ground floor of the medical center and is open Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm.
