Medical Specialists and Elderly Care
We have numerous medical clinics open late and even on the weekends, as well as family and pediatric practices. One of the benefits of living in a smaller town is the close personal relationships many residents enjoy with their doctor or care provider.
We also have several nursing homes as well as retirement living estates. Hospice and home-health nurses are only a phone call away.

Some people spend more on their pets' care than they do on themselves! Auburn University has one of the top Veterinary schools in the nation, and you can rely on their expertise.
