Learn MoreAs one of the largest health systems in Georgia, Wellstar is a leader in delivering comprehensive, equitable care throughout the state. Here are just a few highlights of our level of care and community involvement.
We were named one of Fortune America's Most Innovative Companies in 2023 and one of Becker's Top Places to Work in Healthcare in 2022 and 2023.
We offer over 100 medical specialties. From primary care to cardiology, neurology, cancer care and beyond.
With over 3,000 medical team members serving nine counties in Georgia, we provide care for one in three Georgians.
Approximately 10% of all healthcare provided by Wellstar is for those without insurance.
Wellstar Kennestone Hospital’s Emergency Department became the fifth busiest in the U.S., at 131,034 visits in CY 2019.
Collaborating with Mayo Clinic through the Mayo Clinic Care Network, we use digital technology to consult with other experts and receive the latest medical information.
Being from Montreal, Canada, I knew I had to choose a program that I would consider my ‘home away from home,’ and the moment I interviewed with Wellstar I knew this was the place for me. What appealed to me the most was the genuine camaraderie that was displayed between the residents and the faculty. I am truly grateful for the knowledge, experience, support and friendships that I’ve gained in these three years.
One strength of this program is the level of ‘supervised autonomy.’ Our attendings are always available day and night to answer any questions; however, residents take ownership of their patient panel and are able to make evidence-based medical decisions to provide the best care for their patients, preparing residents for full-spectrum practice.
From big-city life to mountain retreats to scenic beaches, Georgia truly has something for everyone. Enjoy culture, shopping and dining plus major sports and events in the Atlanta metro area. Escape to the north Georgia mountains for hiking, biking, camping and more. Or simply spend some time in the welcoming and vibrant communities just outside your front door.
