Houston Healthcare is proud to now be a part of Emory Healthcare, marking an exciting new chapter. This integration combines the innovation of an academic medical center with Houston's strong community connection in Central Georgia.
What began as one community hospital has evolved over the past 50 years into a healthcare system consisting of seven separate entities serving an amazing 300,000 people every year. Such growth and expansion has been driven by one purpose—taking care of the people that call Houston County and surrounding communities home.
