MRMC to Host Health Insurance Education and Enrollment Fair

Magnolia Regional Medical Center will host an Education and Enrollment Fair on February 10, 2014 to assist Columbia County residents with enrollment in health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The event will be held from 5:00pm - 8:00pm at the LifeSmart Rehabilitation Center, 1005 N Jackson in Magnolia.

"We are pleased to host an education and enrollment fair for affordable health insurance," Margaret West, MRMC CEO said. "This is an opportunity for residents to learn about the new health insurance law and get enrollment assistance."

The public is invited to attend to learn more about the health insurance options available through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, get information about the financial assistance now available to help pay insurance premiums and meet with trained, licensed guides for enrollment assistance.

To be eligible to enroll, a person must be between the ages of 18 and 64, live in the U.S., and must be a U.S. citizen or lawfully present. Anyone who plans to enroll should be prepared with:

  • Birthdate and Social Security Numbers (or document numbers for legal immigrants) for each member of household
  • Employer and income information for every member of the household (for example, pay stubs, W-2 forms, wage and tax statements)

"This event is a great opportunity for people to "Get In" and enroll in health insurance. I encourage anyone who doesn't have health insurance to attend this event," said West.

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.

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.
