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.

Even though the sunshine and current warm temperatures have us dreaming of spring, we’re still remembering the winter storms that rolled through just a few weeks ago.
Angel Medical Center is incredibly proud of our team and the dedication they showed to our patients — no matter what Mother Nature had in store. During the recent storms, countless staff members volunteered to sleep at the hospital to ensure uninterrupted, high-quality care. Instead of complaining, they pulled together, supported one another, and even found ways to have a little fun along the way.
This is what teamwork looks like. This is what commitment looks like.
To our incredible staff: thank you for always putting patients first and for living out our mission — in every season.
