Company History
FCMC first opened its doors in September of 1950 after a local physician voiced his need and dream for a medical center in Fulton County. In 1959, FCMC added beds for the growing community need. A new lab, ER, OB Delivery suite and OR/Recovery suite were added in 1968. 1976 saw the nursing home added. In 2001, FCMC received CAH designation and began to plan and build a replacement facility that opened in November 2007. The patient services building was added in 2009. Today FCMC offers state-of-the-art technology that keeps pace with the ever changing needs of healthcare.
