Dorminy Medical Center

Dorminy Medical Center has long been a pillar of medical support in Fitzgerald and its surrounding communities. Dorminy Medical Center has a lot to be proud.

Residents have relied upon this mainstay for up to date, friendly medical treatment for over 40 years. Dorminy has seen many changes during its time; most recently the largest change has been ERH (a Utah based management company that specializes in working with small to medium size acute care hospitals that are distresses or underperforming) assuming the management responsibilities in July, 2014. After ERH began its work with DMC, 10 healthcare providers were added in one months’ time. CEO Mel Pyne states “During this past year, Dorminy Medical Center has successfully recruited many new physicians to town. The medical practices of these physicians have created new jobs, fueled the growth of the hospital, and provided new options for medical care for the community." Illustrating DMC’s growth are the 52 hired employees since August, maintaining Dorminy Medical Center's status as one of Ben Hill’s largest employers. They have reemerged as a strong player in Fitzgerald and the communities it serves. Dorminy provides numerous amenities that are convenient and when seconds matter, having such a capable facility close by can mean saving a life. The Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day and fully staffed. The Swing Bed Unit provides treatment and attention for patients that are in the transitional stage of care between full time and independence. The 3rd floor Geri-Psych Unit renovation is currently underway.

✨A Hero on the Highway Demonstrates Our Dorminy Difference ✨

A routine return trip for one local EMS worker turned into a heroic act of lifesaving when Tony Ellington, an employee of Dorminy Medical Center, sprang into action at the scene of a serious traffic accident.

While traveling back from a patient transport, Mr. Ellington was behind several vehicles on a local roadway when a car came around and violently T-boned another vehicle on the driver's side. The driver of that vehicle, whose name is being withheld at her request, credits Mr. Ellington with saving her life.

Without hesitation, Mr. Ellington rushed to the scene. He immediately began cutting airbags out of the damaged vehicle in order to reach the driver and assess her injuries. “He never left my side,” the survivor said. “He personally shielded my face with his bare hands to protect me from shattered glass until the fire department arrived and was able to cut me free.”

His quick thinking, calm under pressure, and unwavering dedication made a critical difference that day. “Tony didn’t just do his job—he went far beyond the call of duty. His actions exemplify the highest standard of care and compassion. His commitment to excellence is a testament to his character and training. Tony exemplifies what it means to demonstrate our Dorminy Difference—Paige Wynn, CEO.”

As Jason Thomas, said; “In a world where healthcare workers are often overworked and underappreciated, Tony Ellington stands out as a shining example of what it means to be truly dedicated. His strength, focus, and humanity in the face of crisis are deeply inspiring, we are proud he is part of our Dorminy team!”

“I’m here today because of him,” said the woman. “His contribution that day is a gift I can never repay—but I can make sure people know the kind of hero he is.”
