More about Madelia Health
New graduates are welcomed; experience is not required, BLS and ACLS are provided at hire, and CALS or TNCC is expected within six months. Posted Med-Surg and ED wages are $39.84–$59.25 an hour based on experience, with $1 more from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., $2 more from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and free meals listed in the same package. Schedules on those postings include Baylor weekend nights, 12-hour straight nights, nights every other weekend, a 0.75 FTE day/night rotation, and PRN. There is no named residency or cohort calendar attached to the openings. Leadership reports caregiver retention above 90%. Becker’s listed the hospital among 100 critical access hospitals to know in 2026, and NRHA placed it in a Top 20 patient-perspective group as the only Minnesota CAH in that category. What you will not find is a stack of nurse reviews — the allnurses page had none when it was captured — and a CMS staffing snapshot graded RN staffing a D, with 0.45 RN per bed and a daily census listed as 1.
The hospital cites a culture of transparency and trust under President and CEO David Walz, and reports caregiver retention exceeding 90%.
