About EGHC

Established in 1993 and opened for business in 1994, East Georgia Healthcare Center, Inc. (EGHC) is a non-profit community-based medical facility with locations in Swainsboro, Reidsville, Soperton, and Metter, Georgia.  EGHC is governed by a local board of directors made up of community members, 51 percent of whom are required to be active patients.

EGHC serves the broad health needs of Southeast Georgia residents through a family practice model of care. A multi-site community based health center, EGHC works to ensure that its patients have access to all levels of the health care system. EGHC is especially committed to providing services for the medically underserved.

A strong proponent of preventive education and public health activities, EGHC collaborates with other community agencies and organizations to identify health related needs and to develop resources to meet these needs.

We are dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for all residents of Emanuel, Tattnall, Treutlen, Candler and the surrounding counties, regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, gender, disability, veteran status, and/or ability to pay.

If you are new to East Georgia Healthcare Center, we encourage you to apply for our special "sliding scale" medical fee plan.  At the time of your visit, please bring proof of one month's income and expenses.  Many patients at EGHC, who qualify under this program, pay a very small co-payment for office visits and services.  Those who qualify also may receive their medications at no cost or at a discount.

Our Mission:

It is the mission of East Georgia Healthcare Center to provide comprehensive primary and preventive health care in a courteous, professional and personalized manner.

As a leader in the provision of community health care, East Georgia Healthcare Center is committed to collaborating with other institutions dedicated to the continuous improvement in services being provided to decrease health disparities assuring access to all without regard to income, race or ethnicity.
