Rhea Medical Center has a long and proud
tradition of looking out for the needs of Rhea County. We recognize
that patients, residents, or visitors visit a medical center because
they need to, not because they want to. No
 matter how much we would
prefer otherwise, hospital visits aren’t always the most enjoyable
times of our lives.
However, we can strive to assure the
patient’s, resident’s, or visitor’s experience at Rhea Medical Center
is as pleasant as possible. We can add a little sunshine with a warm
smile and gentle touch. We can put their needs first and treat them
with the respect and kindness that we would expect for ourselves.
The Rhea Medical Center Auxiliary Program
began in May 2001. For many years, the group had previously been
affiliated with the American Red Cross. The Auxiliary is governed by
elected officers and meets bi-monthly. Currently, there are seventeen
