Integris Marshall Memorial Hospital is a licensed 50-bed acute care facility located in Madill, Oklahoma. It is a general, acute care hospital caring for the needs of Marshall County and Texoma area residents. Its Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with physician assistants and on-call doctors.

The hospital was originally constructed as a 30-bed facility in 1964. The growth of the community and surrounding area led to expansion of the hospital for an additional 20 beds in 1967. In 1984, further improvements were made to accommodate a growing laboratory, and in 2002, a new 25,000 square foot expansion project was completed to accommodate a new Emergency Department, Physical Therapy, Cardiopulmonary, Radiology/Imaging (including CT and MRI), Business Office, Medical Records, Gift Shop, Chapel and Lobby areas.

In 1998 the community voted to lease the hospital to INTEGRIS Health, Oklahoma's largest non-profit hospital system, and to continue the one-cent sales tax for 10 years for support hospital renovations and expansion.

In addition to hospital, INTEGRIS Health also operates two physician clinics (one in Madill and one in Kingston) as well as a home health and hospice agency.

The hospital is served by several primary care physicians and numerous specialists which include:

• Dr. Joe Potter, Internal Medicine, Madill, has been an active staff member since 1978.
• Dr. Shannon Goodwin Chambers, Family Practice, Madill, has been on staff since 1998.
• Dr. Pamela Ahearn, Family Practice, Madill, joined the staff in 2001.
• Dr. Joe Adams, Family Practice, Kingston, joined the staff in 1986.
• Dr. Brooks Zimmerman, Family Practice, Kingston, is the newest medical staff member, having joined in 2002.

• Dr. Joel Subangan, (Pulmonolgy)
• Dr. Neil Nedley, (Gastroenterology)
• Dr. James Carlson, (Orthopedics)
• Dr. James Turrentine, (General Surgery)
• Dr. F.E. Webb, (General Surgery)
• Dr. Hayden Henry, (Urology)
• Dr. Gary Worcester, (Cardiology)

In January 1994, the hospital opened its Home Health Agency. With Home Health, the patient is cared for through the complete recovery process, from hospital admission to "back to work" or, in the case of quite a few Marshall County residents, "back to play." Living in a recreation paradise around Lake Texoma, many citizens have already retired, and are looking for ways to enjoy that retirement. But, as with all activities, there is a risk factor. Overly zealous fishermen are always adding to the fishhook collection at the Rural Health Clinic in Kingston. Fishhook removal is becoming quite the norm.

The Rural Health Clinic opened in January 1995. A need for medical services in the eastern and southern part of the county was very evident, especially in the warmer part of the year when people are playing the most - fishing, water skiing, boating or just enjoying the lake.

Several excellent Physician Assistants have joined the staff over the past eight years, enabling the physicians to spend more time with their families.

The Hospital Foundation provided the needed funds to recruit Dr. Chambers.

Marshall County's healthcare community is respected by rural facilities across the state of Oklahoma.

INTEGRIS Marshall County Medical Center is proud of their 40 years of continued service to the area. They continue to expand to meet the needs of their residents and tourists...taking pride that quality care can, and is, available in rural Oklahoma.
