Fitzgerald offers cutting-edge technology combined with a personal touch in its health and preventive medicine services.

Located just south of the original four-square city, DMC is home to physicians and staff trained in the following areas:

  • Pediatrics
  • ICU
  • Surgical
  • Obstetrics/gynecology
  • Outpatient surgery
  • Cardiopulmonary services
  • Physical Therapy
  • Medical imaging (including X-ray, ultrasound, CT scanning, and nuclear medicine)
  • Lab work
  • Pharmaceutical needs
  • Neonatal nursery

DMC has a fully staffed, 24-hour emergency room; a newly renovated birthing/delivery suite (which sees the arrival of 250 babies per year); an extremely advanced medical imaging department; and a sophisticated physical therapy unit (including occupational and speech therapy).

 

Our hospital also promotes wellness in the community through:

  • Wellness on Wheels, an innovative bus that travels the region to provide health care screenings and educational programs to people who do not have easy access to them
  • Free monthly screenings
  • Mini health fairs
  • Preparation for Parenthood classes
  • CPR instruction
  • Free weight-loss clinics

DMC, a proud employer of 250 talented individuals, has been honored in recent years as a top-of-the-line facility. In 1990, DMC was tapped as the Georgia Rural Hospital of the Year. In 1992, Dorminy Medical Center received the state's Outstanding Community Service Award, honoring an institution for superior improvement in community health care.
