Health Care

  • Danville is a regional center for health care and has been since 1809, when Dr. Ephraim McDowell performed the world’s first successful abdominal surgery. His patients included a young James Knox Polk of Tennessee, who later became the country’s 11th president. Close to 100 independent physicians in 26 specialties are affiliated with Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, a modern 187-bed integrated health-care delivery system that offers a full array of ancillary services and state-of-the-art procedures and techniques to the residents of a six-county area. The hospital also operates convenient outpatient facilities for diagnostic testing and physician care. Preventive health is emphasized through health education and wellness programs at McDowell Wellness Center, where hospital-based physical, occupational and speech/language therapy services are offered.
