Serving on the Board of Directors at Macon Community Hospital means serving our neighbors, friends, and families. Many of us have personal connections to this hospital — as patients, loved ones, longtime supporters, or lifelong residents — and those experiences shape every decision we help make. We understand what this hospital means to Macon County because we’ve experienced its care firsthand. For 70 years, the hospital has been a steady presence in our community, providing dependable, compassionate care when it’s needed most, including a trusted emergency department close to home. Our responsibility is to protect that access, strengthen and expand services, and ensure the hospital continues to meet the needs of Macon County for generations to come.

When local voices help guide local care, it strengthens trust, preserves access, and ensures quality healthcare remains right here at home.

Yes, We’re Talking About
THAT Appointment.
Avoiding It Doesn’t Make It Less Important.
It may not be your favorite thing to put on the calendar, but a
colonoscopy is one of the most powerful tools for preventing colon
cancer. Most adults should begin screening at age 45, and even earlier if risk factors such as family history, smoking, or certain digestive conditions are present.
Colon cancer often develops without symptoms, which makes routine screening so important. The good news? A colonoscopy is safe, routine, and usually completed in less time than you think.
Best of all, you don’t have to travel far. Our experienced team provides trusted, compassionate care close to home — helping to protect yourhealth, and keeping our community strong for years to come!
