Valdosta-based South Georgia Medical Center and its campuses and affiliates are operating under a new health system name, SGMC Health, effective Nov. 1.
SGMC Health provides a range of services across multiple locations, including four hospitals: SGMC Health Main, SGMC Health Smith Northview, both in Valdosta; SGMC Health Berrien in Nashville, Ga.; and SGMC Health Lanier in Lakeland, Ga.
The system also operates a network of specialty care centers and services with regional prominence including heart, vascular, stroke, neurosciences, trauma, cancer, orthopedics, surgery, and women and infants.
"SGMC Health is a regional healthcare system, and our new name more accurately defines the comprehensive system of healthcare services we provide and the very reason we exist: to improve the lives of all we serve," President and CEO Ronald Dean said in a news release.
