(Ellinwood, KS, November 10, 2022) – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. today announced a loan and grant valued at $26 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for Ellinwood Hospital to be used to construct a critical access, 45,000 square foot, hospital and medical clinic in Ellinwood.

Ellinwood hospital CEO Kile Magner said, “We appreciate the efforts that Senator Marshall took on our behalf to help with this process. The positive impact the new hospital and clinic will have on the Ellinwood community and surrounding area for generations to come is undeniable and Senator Marshall played a large role in helping us to accomplish this.”
