This is Respiratory Care Week, a time to show appreciation for the wonderful respiratory therapists who make a difference in countless lives.

We have an exceptional team. They run our pulmonary rehabilitation department. They assist physicians in our wound and hyperbaric medicine center. They tend to mothers and babies during deliveries at the maternity center. They help patients navigate battles with diseases like COPD, asthma, lung cancer and pulmonary hypertension. They assess and treat patients in intensive care units, emergency departments and on every floor of our hospitals.

They work hand-in-hand with every department to care for any patient, and they work closely with pulmonologists in providing early detection and treatment of lung diseases.

We thank them and American Association for Respiratory Care - AARC colleagues around the world for their compassionate care. Happy to all!

✔️ Place babies on their backs for naps and at night until they are 1 year old. Make sure babies sleep on a firm, flat surface in their own crib, bassinet or play yard.

✔️ Choose a firm mattress and fitted sheet for baby’s crib. Remove toys, blankets, pillows, bumper pads and other accessories from the crib.

✔️ Dress baby in a wearable blanket, onesie or similar clothing for every sleep. A loose blanket could cover baby’s airway or make their body temperature too high.

✔️ Share your room, not your bed. Place baby's crib or bassinet in your bedroom instead of letting baby sleep in the same bed with you.

✔️ Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble your crib. Make sure to complete and submit the product registration card to learn about any recalls or safety updates.

Dysautonomia — pronounced dis-oughta’-no-me-uh — is an umbrella term that includes many different diseases of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and body temperature. More than 70 million people worldwide live with a form of dysautonomia.

Some forms are mild, but others are fatal. Some people suffer for years undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness. With your help, we can change that.

Pay attention to your body, keep track of symptoms and consult with your doctor. Take advantage of resources provided by Dysautonomia International, a nonprofit organization that supports research, physician education, public awareness and patient empowerment. Learn more at DysautonomiaInternational.org.

In the pink and teal lights for breast cancer awareness this month at our Medical Center and North Campus, you can see turquoise if you look closely. Turquoise is the color of dysautonomia awareness. May it shine truth, knowledge and progress.

Our Story

AnMed Health Cannon in Pickens, SC, is the result of a country doctor’s dream to bring medical care to the people of Pickens County. Beginning more than 50 years ago as a three-room clinic, AnMed Health Cannon today is a modern, high-tech facility where patients not only receive the best medical care, but also individual care, attention, and genuine concern that is so often overlooked in today’s health care arena. Dr. E. Gaine Cannon founded the first Cannon Memorial Hospital located on Pendleton Street and named it as a memorial to his father Dr. James Cannon. In 1949 the hospital grew to an 88-bed facility and was sold to community leaders who formed a non-profit organization. In 1982 a new hospital was built at its current location on W.G Acker Drive, and because of the growth of the community, the Outpatient Services building was added in 1991. Today, AnMed Health Cannon is a 55-bed facility with staff physicians who specialize in such areas as orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery, and rehab services. The hospital also added medical practices including family practices locations, surgical and orthopedics. Today, our hospital offers a full range of state-of-the-art medical technology, equipment, and services to meet the health care needs of the community. The expanded services of today’s hospital include a 24-hour Emergency Department, a full service laboratory, on site CT and MRI , physical therapy, critical care unit, sleep clinic, wellness programs for both children and adults, and diagnostic imaging for both inpatient and outpatient. We sponsor health fairs, flu clinics, CPR training, fitness classes, support groups, and many other community wellness services through our Wellness Center located at the hospital. In 2009, AnMed Health Cannon signed a partnership agreement with AnMed Health in Anderson, SC, to create a new healthcare network. The partnership became complete in 2016 when Cannon Memorial Hospital changed its name to AnMed Health Cannon. This agreement allows Cannon the opportunity to enhance patient care services and lower cost through economies of scale. The affiliation was intended to prepare our community hospital for the changes that will occur in the future with the healthcare delivery system. Click here to learn more about the services offered at AnMed Health – http://www.anmedhealth.org/ AnMed Health Cannon is built on a firm foundation of rich history, a vision for advanced health care and genuine compassion for the people of this community and will be able to enhance this tradition with our affiliation with AnMed Health.
