Yesterday, we had the pleasure of providing a tour of our facility to the CAL Elementary School & Cub Cadet Childcare Center 2nd grade class! They got a taste of everything from seeing the inside of an ambulance to touring one of our Assisted Living resident's apartments.

It was a fun day filled with lots of learnings and memories. Check out some of the pictures of the day on the original post! 💚

Introducing CAL's 2nd grade class of doctors for the day...🩺We had the BEST time extending our learning about the human body outside of the classroom with a field trip to Franklin General Hospital ...

FGH reached an important milestone yesterday as Dr. Hamilton performed the hospital’s first total joint replacement in more than 40 years!

Offering this service locally is a major advancement for our community, allowing patients to access high-quality orthopedic care without traveling to larger facilities. We’re proud of Dr. Hamilton, our care team, everyone behind the scenes, and what this moment represents for the future of healthcare close to home.

If someone you know is struggling, reaching out can make a difference. 📞Call (641)456-5935 or visit franklingeneral.com to learn more.
