History

History
Where We Have Come From
Sumter Regional Hospital is a 143bed community nonprofit hospital dedicated to enhancing the health of the region and it is communities by providing safe high quality health care services to all patients From a humble beginning of only eight hospital beds Sumter Regional Hospital has grown into one of the leading regional health care providers in Southwest Georgia For almost a century Sumter Regional has continued to evolve and develop by meeting the health care needs of our region and our people

In 1908 a group of Americus women established the Americus and Sumter County Hospital Association This paved the way for an eightbed hospital to be erected After a period of prosperity the association began making plans for an even larger Sumter County Hospital in 1914 which consisted of 27 beds Eighteen years later in 1932 a 27bed annex was added to the back of the hospital and was the impetus for even further and more rapid growth

In 1952 a new Americus and Sumter County Hospital was dedicated The 2 million facility located on the north side of town began seeing patients in 1953 The hospital later received a huge facelift in 1975 starting with the addition of an east wing due to continued patient growth During the remainder of that decade and throughout the 80s SRH grew by leaps and bounds adding services including coronary care telemetry a Labor Delivery Recovery and Postpartum LDRP unit oncology clinic rehabilitative services and a whole host of other departments and services

Sumter Regional Hospital took a big step forward to ensure it could meet the needs of its patients through the millennium by initiating a 215million expansion and renovation project in 1997 In 1999 the vision materialized by completing the new 94000 square foot expansion

Sumter Regional Hospital is now a diversified health care system complete with Inpatient and Outpatient Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services Outpatient Surgery Services Hospice Rural Health Care Centers Migrant Health School Nurse Program and numerous physician specialties and office practices Our future is as bright as ever and we will continue to identify and develop new services to meet the health care needs of Southwest Georgia
