Macon Community Hospital is proud to offer advanced cardiology monitoring services with the LINQ device team. The LINQ device is a small implantable cardiac monitor designed to continuously track heart rhythms and help detect irregular heartbeats that may not appear during a regular office visit or short-term monitor.

This innovative technology can help providers identify conditions such as atrial fibrillation, unexplained fainting, palpitations, and other heart rhythm concerns — giving patients and providers valuable information for ongoing cardiac care.

Our team is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality heart care close to home. For more information about the LINQ device and our cardiology services, give us a call today!

Miles Gibson knows firsthand the importance of preventive medical screenings. “Five years ago, our rescue cat, Stormy, jumped up on my wife, Ginger,” explains Miles. “She felt a pain in her breast and had it checked out. Turns out it was breast cancer. Thanks to Stormy, we caught it early, and Ginger is doing great. So when my doctor told me I was more than 15 years overdue for a colonoscopy, I knew I had to get it done.” Dr. Thomas Taylor, a board-certified surgeon with Macon Community Hospital, performed the colonoscopy. “The entire staff was very professional,” says Miles. “They made the whole experience so easy and simple. And Dr. Taylor said that everything was A-OK with my colon. I highly recommend that everyone get to their screenings at Macon Community Hospital. It’s so important.” Miles and Ginger have trusted Macon Community Hospital since they moved here 21 years ago. “The hospital has grown so much since then,” says Miles, who owns Gibson’s Cafe, located in the old Post Office building on Lafayette’s town square. “And with the hospital now offering so many specialty clinics, there’s no need to go to Hendersonville in many cases. We are so blessed to have a hospital like this. It’s the jewel of healthcare in our community.”

At Macon Community Hospital, Jeffrey A. Kammer, MD, provides advanced cataract care and ophthalmology services to help patients improve their vision and maintain their quality of life. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Kammer specializes in diagnosing and treating cataracts and other complex eye conditions. Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy over time, causing blurry vision, glare from lights, difficulty driving at night, faded colors, and trouble seeing clearly during everyday activities. Cataract surgery is a safe, effective procedure designed to restore clearer vision and help patients return to the activities they enjoy most. Dr. Kammer performs cataract procedures right here at Macon Community Hospital, making it easier for patients to receive experienced specialty eye care without traveling far from home. To arrange a visit with Dr. Kammer, call his primary office at 615-453-5155 and ask to schedule your appointment at Macon Community Hospital.
