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.
