The 28-bed Carrington Hospital is owned and operated by Sisters of the Presentation. All staff nurses have had coronary care training. Modern equipment includes a monitoring system and portable x-ray unit. A hospital lay advisory board has been organized to serve the hospital and the community in an advisory and public relations capacity.
Completed in 1970, the new Carrington Clinic houses 2 doctors and 1 dentist at the present time. Office space will accommodate another dentist in the near future. The clinic has been a community project, with numerous organizations providing furnishings.
Golden Acres Manor, 60-bed nursing home, is owned and operated by Assemblies of God Homes for the Aged. Full nursing care provides for the physical, social and spiritual needs of residents.
Holy Family Guest Home, adjacent to the hospital, is also owned and operated by Sisters of the Presentation. The 38-bed extended care home is licensed for Medicare. Volunteer members of the Home and Hospital Auxiliary provide special services at both nursing homes and the hospital.
