🚧 Big things are taking shape at St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital.

This new pavilion represents more than construction progress — it represents continued investment in the health and future of our rural communities. Because access to high-quality healthcare close to home matters.

At St. Mary’s, we believe rural healthcare should never mean less access, fewer options, or lower expectations. We are proud to continue expanding services and facilities that reflect our commitment to delivering high-level care, higher-level caring. 💙

The future is rising in the Lake Country and we’re honored to grow alongside the communities we serve.
