Ryan A+E Inc. | Mercy Medical Center Marion Emergency Department

Our Project

Mercy Medical Center Marion Emergency Department is enhancing community access to emergency care with its new 20,520-square-foot, off-site hospital-based emergency department. The department features 12 exam rooms and two trauma rooms with an on-stage/off-stage model, which separates patient and staff circulation paths to enhance workflow efficiency. A dedicated satellite lab and on-site diagnostic imaging suite (equipped with X-ray, ultrasound and two CTs) provide comprehensive assessments and allow patients to be diagnosed within the emergency department itself. The facility includes a helipad to ensure smoother care transitions for patients needing more complex treatments, while a separate ambulance entry provides a direct path to the dedicated trauma corridor. Large-scale photographs captured by a local artist are architecturally incorporated as murals and strategically located at key navigation points to assist patient travel through the facility.
