Health of Our System

We’re your community hospital. Our health system was built by the community, and the health of our neighbors has always been our top priority.

You work to maintain your health for those who rely on you. At Tanner, we also must maintain the health of our organization so that we can be there for those who depend on us for care.

Our ability to attract and retain top-quality healthcare professionals, our ability to invest in cultivating an environment of care for our patients, our ability to do our part to build a healthier region — all require our health system be financially sound.

Georgia House Bill 321 requires Georgia’s nonprofit hospitals to disclose how they are reinvesting in their communities.

We’re proud of the ways we’re making our region a healthier place to live, learn, work, play and pray, and to share those details with you.
