Dorminy Medical Center is proud to announce its designation as a Critical Access Hospital, a significant milestone that strengthens the hospital’s ability to continue providing high-quality healthcare close to home for the citizens of Ben Hill County and surrounding communities.
Critical Access Hospital designation is a federal program created to support rural hospitals and improve access to healthcare in underserved areas. This designation helps ensure that rural communities continue to have access to emergency services, inpatient care, and essential medical treatments without having to travel far from home.
For over 50 years, Dorminy Medical Center has remained committed to serving the community with compassionate, patient-centered care. Becoming a Critical Access Hospital allows DMC to strengthen that mission by improving financial stability, expanding opportunities for rural healthcare services, and continuing investments in technology, programs, and patient care initiatives.
Dorminy Medical Center continues to offer a wide range of healthcare services including emergency care, swing bed services, rehabilitation, imaging, laboratory services, behavioral health, surgical services, and more, all while remaining dedicated to providing care right here at home.
“This designation is an important step forward for our hospital and our community,” DMC leadership shared. “It helps position Dorminy Medical Center to continue growing and meeting the healthcare needs of our region for years to come.”
It is a great day to be at DMC!
