Navicent Health

What Navicent Health does

Atrium Health Navicent (formerly Navicent Health) is a nonprofit regional health system headquartered in Macon, Georgia, operating as part of Advocate Health following the 2022 merger of Atrium Health and Advocate Aurora Health. Established around 1901, the system serves a primary and secondary service area of 30 counties and approximately 750,000 persons in central and south Georgia through more than 50 facilities spanning 53+ medical specialties. Core assets include The Medical Center (a nationally verified Level I Trauma Center and four-time Magnet Designated academic medical center), the Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital, Peyton Anderson Cancer Center, the Luce Heart Center, a 140-bed hospital in Milledgeville (Navicent Baldwin), a hospital in Byron (Navicent Peach), a rehabilitation hospital, hospice and palliative care (Pine Pointe), senior living (Carlyle Place), three urgent care centers, and multiple primary care and specialty sites. Technology infrastructure is anchored by Epic (with legacy Cerner/Oracle Health systems during transition), telehealth and virtual primary care platforms, robotic-assisted MAKO surgery systems, and EMS communications infrastructure upgraded in 2026.

The system's revenue model is fee-for-service patient care delivered through hospitals, emergency departments, urgent care, primary care offices, and outpatient facilities, billed via commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and self-pay arrangements. An automatic 50% discount off gross charges is applied to medically necessary services for uninsured patients, and financial assistance programs are available. Philanthropic revenue is channeled through the Navicent Health Foundation. Commercial distribution is multi-channel: direct patient care delivery via owned facilities, virtual care (24/7 urgent care video visits and ongoing virtual primary care), insurance network participation across Individual Marketplace, Medicare Advantage, and ACA plans, and emerging institutional channels including school-based teletherapy with multiple central Georgia districts. Workforce totals 4,600+ employees plus a medical staff of 590+ physicians, supplemented by graduate medical education residencies affiliated with Mercer University School of Medicine across Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, and Pharmacy.
