SANTA MARIA, CA – July 22, 2019 – Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC), a Dignity Health Central Coast hospital, announced today that it ranked No. 18 on Soliant’s 10th annual Top 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals contest. Supporters from across the country nominated and voted for facilities that recognized nurturing staff, comforting aesthetics, and innovative designs as key elements of beauty which contribute to the overall well-being of patients. 

Marian completed the construction of its innovative 191-bed acute-care facility in 2012, even further enhancing the quality of care provided to the community. The state-of-the-art, four story hospital was developed by award-winning Moon Mayoras Architects; a firm dedicated to the development of elegant architecture in health care facilities.  The 239,560 square-foot, four-story tower features private patient rooms and baths, an expanded emergency department, and specialized care including a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.   The impressive building was influenced by the California mission style customary in Santa Maria and along California’s Central Coast. The striking facility will serve the health care needs of the community for years to come.

“Marian is pleased to be recognized among Soliant’s Top 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in the Nation,” says Sue Andersen, President & CEO, Marian Regional Medical Center. “While we are proud of our exterior, we are equally proud of the dedicated staff, physicians, and volunteers inside our walls that allow us to be acknowledged nationally for our programs, services, and the quality care we provide.”

With 8,542,596 votes cast for the 96 hospitals nominated, Marian Regional emerged as one of the top 20 facilities recognized by supporters on Soliant’s annual list.

“Congratulations to the hospitals that landed on this year’s Top 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals list,” said David Alexander, president of Soliant. “These facilities recognize that beauty encompasses more than just a pleasing design; it includes compassionate and dedicated staff partnering with comforting surroundings to help create the most optimal place for people to receive the treatment they need and to restore their health.”
