History of the Hospital

The formation of Marian Community Hospital, effective July 1, 1992, marks a milestone in the preservation of quality health care and service to the people of the greater Carbondale area in a spirit of cooperation and collaboration, the Boards of Trustees of both Carbondale General Hospital and St. Joseph's Hospital resolved to study and evaluate the best option available to offer health care to the community. It was decided that the consolidation of the two hospitals would provide the most efficient health care delivery system. The new Marian Community Hospital is housed in the former St. Joseph's Hospital.

Marian Community hospital is a component of Maxis Health System which is sponsored by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Board of Directors, Medical Staff, and employees are committed to providing quality health care and programs which contribute to the well being of the people in the communities which are served. The contributions of the Auxiliary and numerous volunteers are an invaluable source of support to all of the works of the hospital.

To strengthen the future of healthcare within the Carbondale Area, Maxis Health System joined Catholic Health East, a multi-institutional Catholic health system based in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.   The System provides the means to ensure the continuation of the Catholic identity and operational strength of the sponsors' health ministries, which are located within 11 eastern states from Maine to Florida.

In tradition of the healing ministry of the Catholic Church and service to the community, Marian Community Hospital is totally patient focused - concentrating on patient needs and patient satisfaction. It is with this purpose that the hospital looks forward to the future.
