McDowell Hospital has proudly served residents and visitors of McDowell County for more than 100 years.
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. These values continue to guide us today.
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. In 2004 we began an affiliation with Mission Health that brought new resources and services to our community. However, we continue to operate independently, governed by our own Board of Directors.
