Oconee Regional Medical Center is a full-service, not-for-profit, acute care center. Founded in 1957 as Baldwin County Hospital, licensure was granted for 80 beds. As the hospital grew, services were added as the patient base expanded and the name was changed to Oconee Regional Medical Center in 1992. Today, we are an acute care hospital and regional trauma center, licensed for 140 beds and fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Over 86 physicians, representing most major specialties, comprise ORMC's medical staff.
