WellStar Celebrates 20 Years as a System

In less time than it takes a human to reach full adulthood, WellStar has grown from five community hospitals to a nationally recognized integrated health system.

On July 1, 2013, WellStar will mark its 20th anniversary as a health system. We begin our celebration this month, during Healthcare Week.

You’ll be hearing more about how far we’ve come in the months ahead. Celebrate our growth and achievements! In 20 years, we have:

• Grown to become the fifth most integrated healthcare delivery system in the country
• Become the 10th largest employer in Atlanta – increasing from 3,400 team members to more than 12,500
• Expanded the WellStar Medical Group to become one of the largest physicians groups in the Southeast
• Emerged as an Employer of Choice, recognized nationally for our employee-friendly benefits
• Cultivated a culture of caring, with one of the most highly engaged workforces in the nation

Healthcare has changed immensely in the last 20 years, and all healthcare systems face challenges today. WellStar’s history has shown that we nimbly and proactively respond to change. We stand firmly on our solid foundation, ready to keep evolving and growing to meet the healthcare needs of our community. Thank you for the essential part you play in making WellStar a great place to work and to receive care.
