On behalf of the Authority Board and Staff, welcome and thank you for choosing to visit and learn more about the services of BJC Medical Center(BJCMC). BJCMC is located in North East Georgia along the Interstate 85 corridor in Commerce, Georgia. The Authority Hospital was founded in 1960 by a group of concerned citizens to establish, build, maintain, manage, and operate a hospital and nursing facility for the general welfare of the citizens of Banks County, Jackson County, City of Commerce and surrounding communities. Banks-Jackson-Commerce Hospital and Nursing Home Authority (BJC Medical Center) is more than just a hospital and nursing facility. We represent a collaborative Board, Medical Staff, and Hospital Staff of over 400 healthcare professionals that strive to provide caring and compassionate healthcare services dedicated to “treat you like family”. Our commitment is to serve patients and families and provide the best possible quality and compassionate healthcare services to everyone we serve. BJC Medical Center consists of 90 licensed hospital beds, 167 nursing facility beds, and a staff of over 400 medical professionals that provide a range of inpatient, outpatient and long term nursing care services including 24-hour emergency services, surgical services, laboratory services, radiology services, physical therapy services, outpatient clinics, and other services. For services that exceed our local mission and capabilities, we will coordinate the acceptance and transfer of patients to numerous other Specialty Hospitals and Medical Centers within a 1 Hour drive or much shorter medical evacuation helicopter flight. BJCMC is a member of the Georgia Hospital Association, American Hospital Association, and is fully accredited by the Joint Commission Accreditation (TJC). In 2005 BJC Medical Center celebrated its 45th Year Service Anniversary. We are very proud of our legacy and the outstanding example of a medical and hospital staff working together for the benefit of the people we serve with quality medical services and care. As we grow with our communities, our staff and services will grow to meet your needs. BJC Medical Center has embarked on complex capital equipment, facilities, and services planning and development projects that will allow us to upgrade equipment, facilities and services to continue to meet your medical service needs. We invite you to visit our Family Hospital and encourage you to use our healthcare services for your family’s healthcare service needs. Our commitment is to provide the best possible local services available and that you will be Cared for and Treated Like Family. Thank you for visiting our Web site, Jim Yarborough, FACHE |
