What Piedmont Columbus Regional does

Piedmont Columbus Regional is a regional hub of Piedmont Healthcare, a private, nonprofit integrated delivery system headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operating 27 hospitals, 122 immediate care locations, 1,875+ physician practices, and 2,000+ physical sites across Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. The system serves 4.5 million+ patients annually across communities comprising 85% of Georgia's population, with nearly 50,000 caregivers and over 3,600 physicians, making it the largest private employer in Georgia. Piedmont Columbus Regional itself is a multi-hospital system in Columbus, Georgia, serving patients from 21 surrounding counties, and was originally formed through the 2017 acquisition of Columbus Regional Healthcare System.

Core service lines include heart and vascular care (nationally recognized by Healthgrades and U.S. News & World Report), oncology (40+ locations, 14,000+ newly diagnosed patients annually), neuroscience, orthopedics, primary care, maternity, organ transplantation (kidney, liver, pancreas, heart), behavioral health, and immediate care. The underlying technology stack is built on Epic EMR with the Piedmont MyChart patient portal, supporting 657,000+ online appointments and 239,000+ virtual visits annually. Service innovation includes 24/7 system-wide virtual nursing coverage, robotic surgery across multiple specialties, and the Empowering You community resource platform powered by FindHelp that addresses social determinants of health.

Revenue is derived from patient care services — insurance reimbursements, self-pay, Medicare, and Medicaid — across the hospital, physician practice, and immediate care networks. Supplementary revenue comes from philanthropy through the Piedmont Foundation (12,000+ donors annually), exemplified by the transformational Sherron Berg gift supporting the pancreatic cancer early detection program. Other revenue-side infrastructure includes Patientco's PatientWallet online billing, Curae extended financing, and a self-service price estimator tool. The system is governed by an independent Board of Directors (no parent company or PE ownership) and operates as a community-focused nonprofit with $844 million+ in community impact in FY2025.
