Angel Medical Center in Franklin, North Carolina. Celebrating 100 Years of Caring for Our Community. That's the plain English version. Impersonate another person.
At Angel Medical Center, we believe that patient and family-centered care is the best approach to achieve successful outcomes in health care, and the cornerstones of that approach are dignity and respect. Equally important are information sharing, participation, and collaboration. Patients, families, doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals form a partnership that benefits everyone. We define a family member as anyone the patient designates as important. Families are not just visitors; they are essential in patient care and decision-making. Every staff member at Angel Medical Center is dedicated to this approach. We combine patient-centered care with modern medicine, advanced technology, compassion, and care provided by loved ones to reach our ultimate goal - to provide the best care and outcomes for patients. We exist to identify and respond to the health and wellness needs of the region, partnering with patients, families and friends through a comprehensive approach to healing that ministers to the mind, body and spirit. Notice to Patients: No one will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay. There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. This also includes the following clinics:
Angel Primary Care, General Surgery Franklin, Angel Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Mission Health Center Franklin and Mission My Care Now - Franklin. Disclaimer for Social Media:

❤️ Have you heard of ? It happens when the heart's electrical signals fall out of rhythm, which can lead to an irregular heartbeat and a range of symptoms. Some arrhythmias are harmless, while others may need more attention.
Arrhythmias can affect anyone. If your heartbeat feels a little "off" or you're noticing unusual symptoms, it's best to get it checked out. If you're experiencing chest pain, severe shortness of breath or fainting, seek emergency care right away.
TOMORROW: Angel Medical Center is excited to offer a FREE stroke support group. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 10, from 2 to 3 pm in the hospital cafeteria and will be facilitated by Matt McCoy with Stronger Together, along with members of our Angel Medical Center stroke team. The Angel Medical Center Stroke Support Group is designed to provide stroke survivors and their caregivers with the opportunity to network and support each other, while also learning about resources available to them at Angel Medical Center and throughout the community.
