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 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.
Currently, there are 13 volunteers, and new members are always welcome.
