Now Open! New Trauma & Critical Care Tower
Phoebe’s new Trauma & Critical Care Tower is the latest example of our commitment to providing quality, comprehensive and advanced healthcare services to the people of southwest Georgia. The tower houses the only state-designated Level II trauma center south of Columbus, allowing us to provide enhanced life-saving care for our region.

We’re proud to make these investments in lifesaving care for our community.
