Piedmont Henry Hospital

Thanks to community member Breesa Crocker and her daughter Carley, the pediatric unit at Piedmont Athens was able to provide some Halloween fun for its young patients. The mother-daughter pair brought in a generous donation of Halloween goody bags for the hospital's pediatric patients. Thanks to their generosity, little Caylee is already feeling much better on her first Halloween, despite being in the hospital.

Saturday’s are for Georgia Football. #GoDawgs

Today is #WorldStrokeDay!! Piedmont Healthcare, along with all of its stroke partners across the globe, reaffirms its commitment to stroke care.

Long-time Athens resident Julie Massey Jenkins recently donated $100,000 to Piedmont Athens Regional’s new tower in memory of her parents, Juliette and Henry Massey. The hospital has always had a special place in my heart, Jenkins said. I was born there, and it’s the place that cared for both my parents before they passed away. So, Jenkins took the appreciation she felt for her community hospital and put it to work. https://bit.ly/31BAlUT.

Piedmont is committed to keeping patients safe. That's why when you come to one of our hospitals, you'll talk with a screener before you come inside. The screener will take your temperature, ask health screening questions, and make sure you have a mask. We appreciate all of our screeners and their dedication to helping keep everyone safe. #Differencemakers
