History

In 1936, Dr. B. W. McNease was inspired to build a hospital out of a sense of duty and responsibility for the health care of the people of Fayette County and the surrounding areas. The commitment made by Dr. McNease has been honored by those who have followed him. Today, Fayette Medical Center continues to serve Fayette County with a wide range of health services.

A 22-bed nursing home was added to the hospital in 1962. Since that time, there have been 3 additions making Fayette Medical Center-Long Term Care what it is today. Fayette Medical Center consists of a 61-bed hospital and a 122-bed nursing home. Fayette Medical Center, located in Fayette, Alabama, has been under a lease agreement with DCH Health System since 1984.
