We’re very fortunate in Bulloch County, while other rural areas across the state are losing local hospitals to closures, we have East Georgia Regional Medical Center with over 600 employees and over 95 physicians representing a wide range of specialties to serve our area. In this issue we highlight the doctors of EGRMC in the official 2018 Physicians Guide.
We’re also featuring another area provider of multiple wellness services, Optim Healthcare, and also talked to William “Bill” Mase, PhD, of the Jiann Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern. Dr. Mase gives us an inside look at some of the important research being done on rural hospital closings, health profession shortages and what is being done to survey and address these crises in healthcare in our state.
