ABOUT THE FACILITY

Franklin General Hospital (FGH) is located in Hampton, Iowa. FGH has a tradition of caring since 1915 and has continued to meet and exceed the health care needs of Franklin County and surrounding areas.

Franklin General Hospital is a financially sound rural hospital with 25 acute care beds, a primary care clinic (Franklin Medical Center - FMC) and a 52-bed nursing facility providing high quality care in a rural setting. This "hometown" care includes the full continuum of primary healthcare from health promotion to end of life care.

FGH strives to keep pace with new technologies by acquiring the most up-to-date equipment in mammography, radiology, surgery, laboratory, telemedicine, CT, physical and respiratory therapy, critical care and emergency services.

Outpatient services continue to expand at FGH/FMC and provide additional healthcare services to the community. For the aging population, FGH also provides access to long-term care. Here, 52 residents are cared for around the clock in a resident-centered atmosphere by qualified nursing staff.

Because of the many services it offers and the highly skilled professional staff it hires to deliver these services, FGH plays an important role in making the Franklin County area a great place to live and work. FGH expects to change in the future to serve the community better, but won't change the way they care about people.
