Piedmont Augusta Hospital has served the medical needs of the Augusta community since 1818. From 1828 until 1956 it was the primary teaching hospital for the Medical College and subsequent to 1956, with the opening of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital, University Hospital and its medical staff has maintained a teaching affiliation with the Medical College for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical programs. Now, almost two hundred years old, Piedmont Augusta has emerged as a multifaceted community not-for-profit health care system, offering a comprehensive and integrated range of health care services to those throughout the Augusta-area and beyond.
The Piedmont Augusta 健康 Care System is governed by a volunteer board of trustees from the Augusta community and is anchored by the 612-bed Piedmonth Augusta, the second largest hospital in Georgia. Its Medical Staff numbers more than 600 physicians representing every medical and surgical specialty and provides comprehensive acute care services. More than 21,000 patients are admitted, 3,000 babies delivered, and 100,000 patients treated in the Emergency Department annually. Other services include Women's 健康, Behavioral 健康, Laboratory Outreach, Nutrition, Rehabilitation, and Rape Crisis & Sexual Assault Services. Piedmont Augusta also has service agreements with nine affiliate hospitals located throughout the Central Savannah River Area.
社区-based programs include 健康 Central, a community wellness/fitness center, located in downtown Augusta providing certified instructors, classes, and the latest exercise facilities; the Center for 社区 健康 which provides primary care, health screenings, and educational programs for medically under- served residents; 家庭保健； 老龄资源中心； the Brandon Wilde Lifecare 社区 for retirement living options, including assisted-living and skilled nursing care; 沃尔顿康复医院； 以及肯特伍德和韦斯特伍德的专业护理机构。 Year-round educational opportunities for the community include the ACE program for third grade students in 20 Richmond County schools with lessons on character, smoking prevention, and health.
The Medical College affiliation with Piedmont Augusta enhances the training of undergraduate and postgraduate students by incorporating into their experiences real life community services provided by privately practicing community physicians. It demonstrates those services which they will be expected to provide upon completion of their training. The affiliation also demonstrates to students and residents how vital community services evolve in a changing healthcare environment in order to improve the health of citizens of our community.

The Augusta VA Medical Center (VAMC) proudly offers quality health care to our nation's veterans. The Augusta VAMC primary service area includes 17 counties in Georgia and seven counties in South Carolina; but as a member of the Atlanta Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN7), veterans who live as far away as Alabama may be cared for in the Augusta VAMC. Nine VA medical centers in the Southeast comprise the Atlanta Veterans Integrated Network (VISN7): Georgia -- Atlanta, Augusta, Dublin; South Carolina -- Charleston and Columbia; Alabama -- Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and the Central Alabama Veterans 健康 Care System in Montgomery and Tuskegee.
The Augusta VAMC is a two-division medical center which provides tertiary care in medicine, surgery, neurology, psychiatry, rehabilitation medicine, and spinal cord injury. The Downtown Division adjacent to the 奥古斯塔大学 has 155 beds (52 medicine, 37 surgery, six neurology, and 60 spinal cord injury). The Uptown Division, approximately three miles from 奥古斯塔大学 on Wrightsboro Road, has 165 beds (68 psychiatry, 72 intermediate medicine, 15 blind rehabilitation, and 10 rehabilitation medicine). In addition, a 60-bed Nursing Home Care Unit and a 60-bed Domiciliary are located at the Uptown Division. The Augusta VAMC serves as a network resource for the treatment of spinal cord injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and psychiatry patients.
The Augusta VAMC prides itself on continually improving and expanding its health care knowledge. VAMC作为其使命的一部分，全力支持研究生医学教育。 The use of the Augusta VAMC as a training site for Wellstar MCG 健康 residents has a long history, and the affiliation between the Augusta VAMC and 奥古斯塔大学 may be one of the older ones in the entire VA system. The Augusta VAMC's participation in this affiliation not only helps fulfill an education mission but also contributes to a high level of care provided to veteran patients. Medical residents are involved in nearly every aspect and phase of the care of medical and dental patients offered at the Augusta VAMC.
