On December 15, 2025, the Fulton County Medical Center (FCMC) Board of Directors convened for its annual public State of the Company meeting. President and CEO Mike Makosky presented an overview of
fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025), highlighting operational improvements, financial recovery, and community impact.
Makosky reported significant achievements, including a record $1.7 million raised by the FCMC Foundation, which awarded $629,000 in grants, with $410,000 dedicated to imaging upgrades. The Medical Center also stabilized nursing leadership, improved finances by $430,000, upgraded imaging and PACS systems, and enhanced emergency department operations.
For the ninth consecutive year, the Foundation exceeded $500,000 in fundraising, supporting programs, services, and equipment across multiple departments. Additional milestones included the creation of the Nightingale Education Fund by Patti Martin and Bill Palmer to advance clinical staff education, and growth in the iCare membership program with 37 new members, three upgrades, and the establishment of
the Charles “Pete” Warren Scholarship.
“We are blessed to have support from our communities – individuals, businesses and
organizations – that continue to see the importance of having Fulton County Medical
Center meet the needs of quality patient care,” said Mike Straley, FCMC Foundation
Executive Director. “With that comes equipment, program, training and service
upgrades. And our donors answered the call once again. Philanthropy comes in all forms
– donations, grants and bequests, to name a few, and we were on the receiving end of
some very generous gifts.” and despite these successes, FCMC reported an operating
loss of $1.98 million for FY2025—an improvement over prior years—while
generating $125 million in patient revenue and investing $547,000 in capital
purchases. These results were achieved despite challenges such as clinical staff
shortages, Medicaid payment reductions, declining grant funding, rising insurance
premiums, and critical infrastructure needs.
Looking ahead, FCMC’s FY2026 goals include increasing inpatient and outpatient
volumes, stabilizing clinical staffing, optimizing revenue cycle performance,
and achieving full financial recovery.
“While challenges remain, our progress demonstrates resilience and a steadfast
commitment to serving the community,” said Makosky. “We are confident that FY2026
will build on this momentum.”

Walters (Chair), Mark Recard (Vice Chair), Dr. Doug Stern (Chief of Staff), Preston
