consumer health care study of its kind, has given Georgia Health Sciences Medical System its 2011/2012 Consumer Choice Award for our area. The award is based on a survey of 3,200 health care facilities named by consumers in 48 states and the District of Columbia. “Consumers are becoming more educated than ever and taking an active role in their health care. As a result, they are demanding the comprehensive, coordinated and multidisciplinary care they receive at an academic medical center such as Georgia Health Sciences,” says David S.

Georgia Health Sciences Medical Center offers a range of specialists, medical technologies and therapies not available at other area facilities. “This award shows that we are meeting the needs of our patients by delivering advanced solutions to their problems in a caring, compassionate environment,” Hefner says. “We are honored by this award.”
