The
Reason We Exist
We
are in a people business. The Family Medical Center of Hart County
has an uncompromising commitment to place the patient first.
This principle guides the formulation and evaluation of all
procedures and conduct whether administrative or clinical.
Our
goal is to provide professional medical service of the highest
quality for patients while maintaining an environment that fosters
the professional and personal growth of the individual staff
member. To achieve
such goals, it is necessary to work as an integral team with each
team member accepting a fair share of the workload through
individual’s dependability, integrity, responsibility and pride
in accomplishment. Each
job is important; a productive, cooperative atmosphere is
beneficial to the employees as well as the patients.

In 1977, Dr.
James W. Middleton, Jr. started his practice in Munfordville,
Kentucky as “James W. Middleton, Jr., PSC”.

In
1980, Dr. Middleton and Dr.
Evelyn
Salisbury were married and Dr.

As a pediatrician, Dr. Salisbury added a dimension to the
practice that was very much needed in our community, which is
taking care of children from newborn until 18 years of age.

In
1999, FMC saw an increasing demand for another
Pediatrician. Dr. Ann Marie Hemmer then joined our
practice to help with this area. She is a graduate of the
University of Kentucky School of Medicine. She is a member
of the America Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s
Health Center Task Force. She received her training at the
Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon. |
The
Family Medical Center has grown over the years because it has
recognized and met the needs of the community and its patients.
Responding
to the needs of the patients is still the highest priority of the
Family Medical Center, and we expect this dedication will mean
continued expansion of our services in the future.
