Heart care for all of Putnam County
From Crescent City to Interlachen, Putnam County families can get cardiology visits, testing and outpatient procedures at FCCI's Palatka office instead of driving to Jacksonville.
Towns we serve
The Palatka office is a short drive for patients across the county:
- Palatka, home of the office on Zeagler Drive
- East Palatka, just across the St. Johns River
- San Mateo, a quick trip up the road
- Crescent City, in south Putnam
- Interlachen, out west in the lake country
No matter where you live in the county, one number reaches the office: 386.325.2836.
Patients from these towns who end up in HCA Florida Putnam Hospital can ask for FCCI, which covers the hospital 24 hours a day.
Whichever town you call home, the visit happens at 205 Zeagler Drive, Suite 101 in Palatka. Call 386.325.2836 on a weekday to book.
Part of the community
FCCI has been a proud supporter of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Palatka Sunrise. Dr. Yazan Khatib, FCCI's president, has spoken to the Palatka Rotary Club about heart and vascular health.
Local roots run through the care team too. Cecilia Pitts, APRN, has lived in the Palatka area most of her life. Kortney Winkleman, APRN, grew up in Putnam County and wants to better the health of her neighbors.
FCCI's roots in Putnam County run deeper than one office. The practice has served the region since 2002, and its Palatka cath lab has been part of the community since 2016.
That commitment extends to the local hospital too: FCCI physicians cover HCA Florida Putnam Hospital around the clock.
