Medical Center of Central Georgia Inc

On March 27, 1895, The Macon Hospital, now known as The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG), officially opened, offering accommodations for four private and sixteen ward patients. What began as a two-story, eight-room brick residence constructed in the mid-1840s soon grew to include operating rooms and wards located in outbuildings on the property behind the main structure. In the ensuing years, MCCG evolved into a 603-bed, full-service, acute care hospital that now serves an estimated population of 750,000 residents and is now the second largest hospital in the state of Georgia. Accredited by the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the medical facility has a primary service area of thirty counties in Central Georgia, including Bibb and the neighboring counties of Crawford, Houston, Jones, Monroe, Peach and Twiggs. The Medical Center typically treats patients from nearly 80 percent of Georgia’s 159 counties. Source:www.mccg.org
