Harbin Clinic

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Harbin Clinic is a privately held medical clinic located in Rome, Georgia. It is the largest multispecialty clinic in the area, offering a wide range of medical services. The clinic was founded in 1908 by Drs. W.P. and R.M. Harbin as Harbin Hospital. Over the years, it has grown to include 27 satellite offices in various locations in Northwest Georgia, including Rome, Adairsville, Bremen, Calhoun, Cartersville, Cedartown, Summerville, and Trion.

Dr. Robert Maxwell Harbin, who received his medical training in New York City, established his own practice in Rome in 1894. His brother, Dr. William Pickens Harbin, joined him in 1898 after serving in the United States Army. The Harbin brothers' first practice was located on Broad Street, and they provided medical care to patients both in their office and through home visits.

In 1908, the Harbin brothers founded Harbin Hospital with 12 beds. The hospital expanded over the years, adding new facilities and services. In 1911, they established a training program for nurses, and in 1919, a new four-story fire-proof hospital building was constructed. Harbin Hospital was one of the first hospitals in the country to offer radiation treatment for cancer.

Today, Harbin Clinic offers a wide range of medical specialties, with 32 different departments. The clinic is known for its commitment to providing high-quality healthcare to the communities it serves. With a team of over 1,400 employees, Harbin Clinic continues to expand its services and locations to meet the growing healthcare needs of Northwest Georgia.
