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:

Mission Health emergency rooms are equipped and ready to evaluate serious head injuries and provide fast, specialized care when it matters most.

Every year in the U.S., around 900,000 people are diagnosed with serious blood clots, also called venous thromboembolisms (VTEs).
