The current site that today makes up the campus of Grandview Medical Center is the culmination of over 48 years of healthcare facility planning in Marion County, Tennessee. And for the tens of thousands who live in our market area, Grandview truly is quality healthcare, close to home.
Today’s Grandview Medical Center is the result of a 1998 merger of the South Pittsburg (Tenn.) Municipal Hospital, founded in 1959 by four local physicians, and the Whitwell Medical Center hospital in Whitwell, Tenn. Seeing the need for a more centralized hospital in the area that offered more comprehensive medical services and a better business model, the current Grandview Medical Center was built atop a green Tennessee hill overlook at the intersection of Tennessee Highway 28 and Interstate 24, easily making it one of the most accessible hospitals in the area. Standing in front of the main lobby entrance, one has a panorama of the beautiful mountains of the lower Sequatchie Valley. It truly is a “grand view”, perfect for nurturing body and mind.
In 2001, Mountainview Treatment Center, a 18-bed psychiatric in-patient hospital, was constructed on the Grandview Medical Center campus and began offering a much-needed service for residents of the Sequatchie Valley. In addition, Grandview operates North Valley Medical Plaza, a physician-staffed 24-hour emergency medical treatment center in the town of Dunlap, Tenn., in neighboring Sequatchie County.
In 2003, Grandview Medical Center was awarded the contract for providing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for Marion County. The service has a fleet of six modern ambulances. Staffing that fleet and covering the county’s EMS needs 24-/7 are some of the area’s most highly trained and experienced Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics.
Although currently encompassing over 100,000 square feet and featuring updated equipment and engineering, Grandview Medical Center was planned and built with future growth and expansion in mind. Always with a focus on expanding and improving patient care and services, Grandview Medical Center is well positioned to accommodate as our service area changes and evolves.
