Mission Statement

We serve with compassion.

Hamilton Medical Center offers many things to its patients and community.  Here are just a few recent activities that prove there is a Hamilton Advantage.

Technology Minded

For residents across Northwest Georgia, the Peeples Cancer Institute offers some of the most advanced techniques for the treatment of cancer all under one roof.
• To serve the families of Northwest Georgia, as well as neighboring communities in the region and beyond, Hamilton Health Care System has opened Anna Shaw Children’s Institute.

• Hamilton’s Mashburn Cardiac Pavilion’s two cardiac catheterization labs feature fully digital Artis Zee® angiography systems with flat-panel detectors that enable physicians to view high-resolution images allowing them to see interventional devices such as guidewires, catheters, and coronary stents in precise detail and from almost any angle. Hamilton’s hybrid suite features the first multi-axis system with robotic technology, the Siemens Artis Zeego angiography system. It is used for cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, including endovascular procedures.
