DEKALB COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

DeKalb Community Hospital is dedicated to bringing first-class care to our friends, families, and neighbors in DeKalb County. We are most fortunate to have an extensive network of doctors that make it possible for us to provide you with exceptional healthcare close to home. DeKalb Community Hospital would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new partner in healthcare, Stones River Hospital located in Woodbury. Our two facilities have joined forces to create a new healthcare team in the Middle Tennessee area. We are working together to provide the highest quality, compassionate healthcare services to our patients, physicians, and the communities we serve. A wide range of diagnostic imaging services are available and are performed by certified technologists in a warm and caring environment. Diagnostic imaging procedures available include Xray, mammography, ultrasound, Open MRI, nuclear medicine, bone density, fluoroscopy and computed tomography with a new 16 slice CT scanner.

Our Emergency rooms are equipped to provide 24-hour-a-day emergency management, including injuries and acute illness. There are heliport pads located at each facility. Physicians are on hand to treat patients of all ages with all of the experience of a larger facility - but with the compassion and convenience found in a small hospital setting. Our labs are staffed 24 hours a day and 7 days a week with medical technologists and technicians trained to operate the finest equipment available in the industry, including the most advanced cardiac marker and blood chemistry units. The lab provides clinical test results necessary for the proper diagnosing and treatment of patients by our physicians. Our outstanding professional staff works with patients of all ages to reduce pain and restore functioning after an illness or injury in order to promote independence and quality of life. Occupational and speech therapy is also offered and staff can assist patients in acquiring durable medical equipment needed to overcome physical impairments. The surgical department provides services to all age groups including pediatrics. Services are in multiple areas including general surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedics, gynecology, podiatry, ophthalmology, pulmonology, and pain management, as well as ear, nose and throat procedures. We have recruited the brightest and best physicians from a broad range of medical specialties and from all across middle Tennessee. Specialties include but are not limited to Cardiology, Pulmonology, Physical Medicine, Oncology, Orthopedics, Nephrology, and Urology. We wanted to bring the best of medicine to Cannon and DeKalb Counties to ensure our patients receive the care they need without having to travel far from home. Our doctors, nurses, and all of our support staff are specially trained and are tested on an on-going basis to best treat patients recovering from injury or illness, needing surgery, and even those requiring intensive care.
