EMH is a 49 bed acute care facility with an off-site 160 Bed Long Term Care skilled nursing facility located in Glennville. As the needs of the community have changed, Evans Memorial has taken action to accommodate those needs.

The Laboratory at Evans Memorial is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with highly qualified lab professionals. The skilled technologists perform in-house tests such as complete body chemistry profiles, including tests for heart, kidneys, and liver as well as diabetes, gout, and blood pressure; lipid profiles, which determines the breakdown of cholesterol levels; obstetrical work-ups and many others. All diagnostic laboratory equipment is less that two years old. An integrated Lab Information System has been implemented. Drug screening is also performed through the laboratory.

The Radiology Department provides 24 hour in-house professiionals to perform mammography, obstetrical/gynecological and abdominal ultrasound, routine radiography, flouroscopic exams, tomography, CT scanning, nuclear medicine and stress testing, and an open MRI unit. Unlike a traditional closed MRI that can produce a claustrophobic experience, the Opart provides easy access from all four sides and has a less confined feeling. With the widest vertical opening of any MRI system, patients are able to relax comfortably during the painless procedure. The radiology department is excited about it's latest project - PACS - filmless radiography. This computerized radiography provides consistencly clear, sharp digital images for your physician anywhere, anytime.

The Respiratory Therapy Department also has 24 hour in-house professionals performing various studies; Holter EKG event monitors, Sleep Studies, Echocardiograms, Arterial Blood Gasses, Cardiac Stress Test, Pulmonary Function test, bi-pap, as well as aerosolized and positive pressure breathing to treat a variety of pulmonary diseases.

Evans Memorial Hosital updated its emergency room services in October of 1993. The new Emergency Department is equipped with the latest technology and includes a spacious trauma room, cardiac room, and 4 general treatment rooms.

The Labor and Delivery Unit opened in July of 1998 and featured 3 state of the art suites, one post-op recovery suite, and a C-section suite on the unit. Each suite features a birthing bed, private bath, and furnishings to make the birthing experience more pleasant. 2007 brought the addition of 6 post delivery suites. Epidural anesthesia is available with delivery. Staffed with two obstetricians, 4 baby doctors, and 2 full-time interpreters, the unit is multi-culturally friendly. Mothers have the option of Rooming In (keeping the baby in the room, instead of the unit nursery).

In July of 1998, we also open the specialty clinic, where physicians specializing in orthopedics, sleep disorder, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, urology, cardiology, neurology, ENT, podiatry, allergy and immunology, general surgery and ophthalmology hold weekly clinics. This unit brings specialty physicians to Evans County, thereby saving the 1 to 2 hour drive to Savannah or Augusta.

The Rehabilitation Department has four full-time Registered Physical Therapists, providing both in-patient and out-patient treatments. The department is equipped to provide rehabilitative therapy when needed after an accident or surgery. Through evaluation and individualized treatment programs, our therapists can treat both existing problems and provide preventive health care for people with a variety of needs. The 8500 square food Jack Strickland Rehabilitation Center opened in December of 2002, hosting a therapy pool, general exercise area, and many other amenities. The center provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and exercise physiology with concentrations in orthopedics, pediatrics, sports medicine, stroke and cardiac rehabilitation. These and other medically based wellness programs are offered to the general public in Evans and surrounding counties. Rehabilitation services are also available at Glenvue Nursing Home, our 160 bed skilled nursing facility in Glennville, Georgia. Employees may utilize the Jack Strickland Rehabilitation Center's gym and exercise equipment at no charge, after physician clears for program.
