As we have stated many times in this space, we are fortunate to have the Rockdale Medical Center in our community.

There is no telling how many lives have been saved over the years because of its presence.

Over the recent years since LifePoint has owned the facility, there have been many improvements, not only in state-of-the-art equipment but also in service.

This past week, staff of the hospital and community leaders gathered in a celebration of life.

The dedication of the expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and renovation of the Birth Place was a positive step in the hospital’s push to provide excellent quality care and quality facilities within easy driving distance.

The folks at Rockdale Medical Center are a positive force in our community.

We congratulate them on having the vision to provide the Rockdale community with this expanded facility.
