  • Awards and Recognition

Caring for You Is Our Highest Honor

At Wellstar Health System, our patients are — and always will be — our number one focus. For our dedicated team, the greatest reward is caring for you each and every day. Because we put your health and well-being above all else, our care has also placed first, earning some of the highest honors in the healthcare industry.

Decades of Distinction

Wellstar consistently receives attention and accolades from national organizations that set standards for world-class care. We strive to take the best care of you, and we have stayed committed to practices that prioritize your health and well-being. Providing you safe, exceptional care is what motivates us, year after year.

Wellstar has been recognized with awards from such organizations as the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Georgia Hospital Association (GHA), and has been named to the Partnership for Health and Accountability (PHA) Quality Honor Roll. In fact, Wellstar Health System has participated in the PHA Safety Program since its inception, and we have received prestigious Quality and Patient Safety Awards from this organization.

Our hospitals have also garnered recognition for exceptional expertise in clinical areas such as heart, cancer and neurological care. We have received the Beacon Award from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) for Critical Care Excellence. The American Association for Respiratory Care (QRCR) named Wellstar a Quality Respiratory Care Institution, and only 700 of 5,000 U.S. hospitals achieve this distinction.

As we serve our community with much-needed healthcare and support, we’re proud that professional medical organizations continue to reward our success. To keep up with the latest news about our awards and distinctions, please visit Wellstar Health News.
