Colquitt Regional Health System is a 155-bed rural hospital that has received 21 consecutive “A” hospital safety grades from The Leapfrog Group, most recently in fall 2025. Per CMS data, it was one of only 280 hospitals in the nation with a zero MRSA infection rate. In January 2026, the Georgia Hospital Association honored the health system with its “Patient Safety and Quality Award” for its health equity food resources program, which provides non-perishable, diabetic-friendly food items to eligible patients at discharge, along with educational materials and community resource information. The hospital has adopted multiple advanced technologies in recent years, including the da Vinci 5 surgical robot, PET scan services and Aquablation therapy with the HYDROS robotic system for enlarged prostate treatment. It was the first hospital in George to offer the Vibwife birth platform for labor. The hospital has also invested in residency programs in family medicine and psychiatry to prepare physicians for rural and community-based settings. Its “Reaching New Heights in Healthcare” campaign is funding a new medical tower that will increase licensed bed capacity from 99 to 155, projected to add 35 new physicians and create 490 jobs. Colquitt Regional reached the 95th percentile for staff engagement nationally, a measure that directly supports consistent, compassionate patient care.
