The VA Northern Indiana Health Care System's Marion Campus, tracing back to an 1890s National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers branch, was recently recognized among the 350 cleanest hospitals nationally with a CMS 5-star rating, operating alongside Marion Health's separate 110-bed acute care system.
A real, disclosed crime-framing tension
