We have been in continuous operation since 1938 under the sponsorship of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, and since 2013, Catholic Health Ministries. Our values and mission flow from their devotion and service to God and humanity.

In addition, since 2006 we have four times received the Large Hospital of the Year distinction from the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals.
