Mary Rutan Hospital

Mary Rutan Hospital has been caring for generations since 1919. The not-for-profit hospital came into existence through a bequest of Rebecca Rutan Williams. Mrs. Williams left property and funds to the city of Bellefontaine designating that a hospital be built and named in honor of her mother, Mary Magruder Rutan. The original hospital accommodated 22 patients. Today, after numerous additions, Mary Rutan Hospital is now a 110 bed facility which offers a  range of excellent healthcare services and a constant dedication to our mission of “Providing Progressive Quality Health Care With A personal Touch”. Mary Rutan  Hospital’s newest additions include the New Low-Risk Cardiac Catheterization Lab and expansion of our Cardiovascular and Intensive Coronary Care units. Also, the Ewing H. Crawfis Imaging enter, which offers the most advanced MRI technology  available in the country, as well as state of the art equipment for mammography, bone density testing, ultrasound and diagnostic x-rays.

Other services include the Family Birth Center with LDRP (labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum) units, expanded Surgery and Same Day Surgery facilities, Transitional Care – a step-down unit for stays of up to 30 days.   Our most recent expansion, completed in 2008, includes a new 17,000 sq. ft. emergency department and expansion and remodeling to the radiology department, laboratory and medical records areas of the hospital.

While the physical structure has changed many times over the years, one thing has remained constant - the enduring commitment of generations of medical staff, nurses, managers, employees and volunteers. It is this personal dedication that has always been and always shall be the real strength of Mary Rutan Hospital.
