Marion VA Medical Center

The VAMC in Marion, IL is amazing. I spent a couple of years at Naval Medical Venter San Diego during a medical retirement board. I thought NMC San Diego was efficient and awesome. Given the lack of funding to the VA in general and all the bad press at the time I wasn’t looking forward to transitioning to the VA medical system. Boy was I wrong! If they can’t see yo in a reasonable amount of time they are happy to send you out to a provider near your home vis a vis the veterans choice act. I have had numerous procedures at VAMC Marion and every time I was treated wonderfully. The entire staff is amazing and thoughtful and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about this VAMC. The campus is nice and compact. And the executive staff understands that they win when patients are healed and sent back out into the world as opposed to civilian medicine which seems to be incentivized to have you back often and heal you in their own sweet time. This VAMC is easy to find no matter what direction you approach from. If your a Vet near Marion, IL, then you should definitely should be getting your health Care here.

My Dad is currently a patient. He came in Thursday so sick, but was there for an appointment. His oxygen level was 52, his color was grey, and he was plummeting fast. They whisked him away and into the ER where they were hyperfocused on his care. They got him on oxygen and started labs, and x-rays. They discovered Congestive heart failure, Afib, and pneumonia. He's been cared for like he is the most important person on earth. They also have a hospital pastor who comes in and talks to him with the utmost respect, dignity, and love and prayers. I have had other family members in local hospitals, that in comparison, thier care is appalling. He's in good hands, and the best hospitals around. That gives me so much comfort and relief. Thank you for taking such good care of my Daddy.!
