AllianceHealth Madill is Vital to Marshall County

Delivers essential medical services and broad impact to the larger community
Madill, OK – Over the course of 2023, AllianceHealth Madill played a vital role helping people get well and live healthier at more than 67,000 patient encounters across its hospital and AllianceHealth physician clinics.
At more than 7,700 emergency department visits each year, lifesaving medically necessary care is provided for all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Members of the community who cannot fully afford their medical care are provided deep discounts or even charity care and the hospital has resources to help them secure medications and medical support devices. Last year, AllianceHealth Madill provided more than $3.6 million in charity and uncompensated care for the community’s most vulnerable.
“AllianceHealth Madill plays a vital role in our community around the clock, every day of the year to help people get well and live healthier,” said Dan Coats, chief administrative officer for AllianceHealth Madill. “Night or day, through holidays and bad weather, our dedicated team of clinicians and caregivers are using their skills, experience and compassion in service to the patients who are counting on us.”
Other support for social determinants of health in the community includes financial donations for charitable organizations including the HFMC Food Pantry, LLC, and acts of service such as the Jars of Love drive collecting peanut and other nut butters for the local food bank. The Senior Care Services department hosted a Suicide Prevention Walk to draw attention to this important matter.
AllianceHealth Madill applies its resources to medical services, facilities and technologies that patients want to access close to home. Plans are being finalized to begin the final phase of remodel, which will include the emergency department. Previous projects include: a new wing with 25 patient beds and a gastroenterology and surgical suite. Generous community support through sales tax dollars has made the service expansions possible, allowing patients to receive care closer to home.
AllianceHealth Medical Group has expanded access to care to include Kingston. Dr. Chris Leslie, orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Jay Jacinto, general surgery, have started seeing patients in the AllianceHealth Medical Group Primary Care Kingston Clinic.
Civic resources and services are supported by AllianceHealth Madill’s tax payments of more than $86 thousand and the payroll of more than $10.6 million ripples across the local economy as employees buy goods and services.
Workforce development remains a priority as we value strong relationships with local nursing programs. Investments are being made to help team members achieve their personal and professional goals through assistance with student loan repayments, as well as tuition reimbursement.
Coats continued, “We recognize that our services are essential to our patients and we are committed to doing all we can to provide quality health care and make Marshall County a healthier, better community for all.”
