While many people associate hospitals with emergencies or illness, their role goes far beyond that. Each of Georgia’s 180 hospitals stands as a beacon for their communities by serving as:
You’ve seen the sign. Now see the story.
“Mother’s Day morning we anxiously arrived at Southeast Georgia Health System Brunswick for our scheduled C-section of our second born child. This was our first time in the hospital here, and we were nervous, to say the least, of the care we would soon receive. Thankfully, shortly after arriving at their maternity care wing, all of our nerves were quickly put at ease. . . We are so thankful for the overall amazing care we received from beginning to end.”
"I was recently diagnosed with 3 blocked arteries (one was 99% blocked). The triple-bypass surgery that I received at Northeast Georgia Medical Center – Gainesville literally saved my life. Doctor Hastings and the amazing nurses provided exceptional care! I could not be more thankful."
“Everybody at Hamilton Medical Center has so much compassion in their heart. They’re being God’s hands and showing the love they have for people by what they do. To me, it’s amazing.”
"My experience at Houston Healthcare was great . . . They put me at ease . . . [and wanted] to know what they could do for me to make me more comfortable."
"I participated in the Live To The Beat Powered By Wellstar program. I joined this program because last year in January of 2024, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Since being in this program, not only has my blood pressure improved, but my provider has discussed weening me off of the medication, if it continues to stay normal and I am working hard to keep it that way."
"Like many Metro Atlanta Mommas, I delivered both my babies at Northside Hospital. It was an amazing experience. We felt supported, well informed, safe, and comfortable during all our visits to Northside! I'm so thankful to the incredible nurses and staff."
“The care we’ve received at Memorial Satilla Health has made all the difference in the world. I love these nurses. I can’t tell you how good they’ve treated us. They’ve treated us like gold and I couldn’t ask for more.”
“We are very fortunate here at Phoebe to have such a great NICU team . . . [without them] I would not have my baby.”
“Five years ago, I needed emergency surgery at a time when hospitals were under enormous strain during the COVID-19 pandemic. My Emory Heathcare neurological surgeon was the most reassuring and thoughtful doctor I've ever met. The only reason I am not permanently paralyzed today is due to having one of the most gifted and caring healthcare teams in all of Georgia. I will never forget that experience.”
