This hospital has been named a Best Practice Hospital by the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Georgia (formerly Georgia Medical Care Foundation) and every quarter  has consistently ranked at or near the top in patient satisfaction in the State of Georgia for inpatient services, emergency room, and medical staff. And in addition, in a time when other hospitals are closing doors, this hospital has continued to thrive financially.

This town is one of the South’s best kept secrets – a step back in time to a place where family, church, and community are central to one’s lifestyle. It has been described as a "Norman Rockwell Painting", and it is a wonderful place in which to live. This town offers comprehensive athletic and arts programs, and children have the opportunity to participate in nationally-ranked gymnastics or world-class diving programs. The Arts Center, country club and YMCA have much to offer in arts classes, performance opportunities, entertainment, fitness and sports. It’s easy to understand why this town in Georgia is known as "the City of Southern Living".
