We offer many services only found in Big Town practices.
We provide the exceptional service we’d want to experience ourselves!
Background
Perry County Medical Center has provided excellent medical care in Perry County and Hickman County, Tennessee, since 1979.
Incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation, the Center received funding through a grant from a Rural Health Initiative grant to establish Perry County Medical Center. Shortly thereafter, Perry County funded a new 7,200-square-foot building. Over the years, it has continued to grow and provide quality health services to anyone seeking medical care at our facility, regardless of their ability to pay. A few years later, a modern facility was added in the Lyles community of Hickman County.

Telemedicine
With most homes in our area having access to high-speed internet, people don't always have to travel to the doctor for medical services. Telehealth, or telemedicine, allows doctors or nurse practitioners to diagnose illnesses remotely without patients having to visit a health center. Patients can access telehealth services through a variety of methods, including video conferencing, phone calls, and text messaging. Additionally, telehealth visits are usually shorter than traditional office visits, making them more convenient for both the patient and the healthcare team.
On-site Diagnostic Labs
With our on-site diagnostics, our medical professionals can quickly detect and diagnose conditions without sending samples to a laboratory. This saves time and money for both the patient and the provider.
Affordable Dental Care
A critical need for areas with many low and moderate-income individuals is dental care. Dental care is a very important part of overall health, especially heart health. Our staff has extensive experience treating patients with neglected dental care.
