What “Healthcare Close to Home” Means at Troy Regional
Many people believe they have to travel to a big city for high-quality medical care, but Troy Regional is proving that world-class expertise is available right here at home. We aren’t just a convenient choice; we are a nationally recognized leader in healthcare. As a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital for both 2025 and 2026, and a multi-year Women’s Choice Award winner for Emergency Care and Comprehensive Care, Troy Regional offers the sophisticated clinical results you expect from a major metro facility with the personal attention only a local neighbor can provide.
This Hospital Week, we are shining a spotlight on all the high-quality services we offer, explaining what healthcare close to home really means, and celebrating the amazing staff who put their hearts and souls into the care they provide every day so that you can see why patients all over Pike County and the surrounding areas are choosing Troy Regional for care.
Why Choose Troy Regional
Troy Regional not only offers outstanding emergency care, we also offer many services that make quality care closer to home a reality. We are proud to share that Troy Regional was named among the 2025 and 2026 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Based on the rigorous Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, this honor recognizes outstanding performance in clinical outcomes and patient care, and notably, Troy Regional is the only hospital in Alabama to make this list. This national excellence is reflected in every department, from our primary care clinics to our advanced diagnostic imaging, providing everything from routine X-rays and screenings to life-saving mammograms.
Care That Covers Every Chapter of Life
We have expanded our reach to include specialized infusion services and vital behavioral health support, including a dedicated senior behavioral care unit, so that your aging loved ones can receive advanced, compassionate care as well. Additionally, our inpatient and outpatient detox services provide a safe, medically supervised path to recovery right here in our community. When you choose Troy Regional, you aren’t just choosing convenience; you are choosing the only hospital in the state recognized by Chartis for delivering this elite level of rural healthcare.
At Troy Regional, we also believe that primary care is the essential front door to a lifetime of wellness. Primary care is more than just a clinical appointment; it is a relationship-driven foundation for your long-term health. We focus on preventative care for the entire person (not just treating a single symptom), allowing us to catch issues before they become emergencies. Our dedicated team—including Dr. Michael Williams, Dr. Richard Boone, and Dr. Lance Dyess, alongside highly skilled providers Cortne Benton,
Chavona Moore, and Suzanne Tompkins—is committed to knowing you and your family personally to provide you with the best possible medical care.
More Than Medicine: Care Built on Community
Because we live where you live, our providers don’t just see you as a patient; they see you as a neighbor. A doctor in another city probably won’t ask about your child’s basketball game or support your local school fundraiser, but our team does. We sit beside you in church and shop at the same grocery stores that you do. This connection is vital, as it builds a unique level of trust and a personal sense of accountability that you simply won’t find in a large medical center. When your healthcare team is truly invested in you as a person, it doesn’t just change your experience; it changes your quality of care.
Excellence, Right Here Where You Belong
The true power of proximity isn’t just about a shorter drive—it’s about a higher quality of life. It’s the cancer patient who can receive life-saving infusion services nearby, avoiding the exhaustion of a long, uncomfortable commute. It’s the working parent who can fit in a 3D mammogram and be back at the office in an hour, rather than losing an entire day to a big-city medical complex. And it’s the peace of mind for families who know that in an urgent situation, top-notch care is always nearby.
This commitment to local excellence starts at the top. Rick Smith, Troy Regional CEO and recent recipient of the National Leadership in Healthcare Award, summarizes the hospital’s mission this way: “We take immense pride in the fact that our neighbors no longer have to look outside our community for world-class medicine. Our vision is to provide a level of healthcare excellence that matches the strength and spirit of Pike County, ensuring that every family has a trusted partner in health right here at home.”
