We are proud of the recognition received again this year and plan to celebrate this milestone with our staff. Great things continue to happen for Wabash General Hospital and this is one of the many positive accomplishments our staff should be proud of. We had major upgrades to our facilities, electronic health records, equipment, and service lines this past year and despite all the changes we made to better serve our customers, we continued to positively impact, support, and grow our team. We have a lot to be thankful for and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the team at WGH.”
