“Since 1930, Thomasville Medical Center, or City Memorial Hospital as it was known at the time, has been a pioneer of bringing advanced health care services to Davidson County. We discovered a long time ago that high-quality health care starts by working together to empower our patients to lead healthier lives in our community. This proud tradition of care has expanded over the years thanks in part to the generosity and support of donors, foundation leaders and community partners.”
