McDowell Hospital has served county residents and visitors for more than a century. Our founders—selfless community leaders and compassionate physicians—valued teamwork, excellent care, and superb customer service. We are committed to providing the highest quality care possible. From value-based purchasing to continuous learning by physicians and staff to major renovations now taking place, we are infusing quality into everything we do. We’ve experienced many changes during our long history including several moves to expand services.

"A concussion can happen in an instant — a tough hit, a sudden jolt or any impact that makes the brain shift inside the skull," says Kelli Franklin, Mission Hospital pediatric trauma program manager. "And here’s the tricky part: some symptoms show up right away, while others don’t appear for hours or even days. That’s why it helps to know what to watch for and when to get help."

Mission Health emergency rooms are equipped and ready to evaluate serious head injuries and provide fast, specialized care when it matters most.

Take a moment to learn the warning signs, when rest is enough and when it’s time to call 911 or head to the ER. Your brain deserves the best protection. 🧠

This world needs more nurses like Amy Willis! 🌼✨

We are thrilled to announce that Amy Willis is our latest DAISY Award recipient!

Amy was recently nominated by a patient who described her as their "private angel". During a time of high anxiety, Amy’s calm presence, constant smile, and genuine compassion made all the difference.

As her patient beautifully shared: "I could feel her love and compassion from the time I met her... she deserves recognition, although I know that is not why she does it".

Amy, thank you for the heart and soul you pour into Acute Care every day. You make Mission Hospital McDowell a better place for everyone!
