The mission of the Emanuel Medical Center is to provide patient-focused healthcare services which exceed the expectations of the people they serve. Since 1952, Emanuel Medical Center has worked diligently to fulfill its mission and serve a growing Emanuel County and area.

This 119-bed acute care facility delivers care with sensitivity and world-class skills. The staff includes board certified physicians in the field of Family Practice, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Neonatology, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Radiology and Orthopedics. 

The Department of Surgical Services is staffed by board-certified physicians who perform laparoscopic procedures as well as general, abdominal, gynecological, orthopedic, cataract and ear, nose and throat surgeries.

The Nursing Home at Emanuel Medical Center serves as a refuge for those people who can no longer be cared for at home. With 49 beds, including 24 private rooms, the facility lets the elderly remain near the people they love in a happy and healthy environment. Adjacent to the hospital, physicians are just a few steps away.

As a vital resource, Emanuel Medical Center constantly evolves to meet the changing needs of our community. For more information visit Emanuel Medical Center's website at www.emanuelmedical.org or call at 478-289-1100.
