Piedmont Healthcare is an American non-profit private operator of health care facilities that was founded in 1983.[2] It is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and, as of March 2022, owns and operates 19 hospitals.[1]
The organization takes its name from its original site: Piedmont Hospital, which was established in 1905 and is now called Piedmont Atlanta. The remaining hospitals also use the Piedmont designation and include among others: Piedmont Augusta Hospital, Piedmont Augusta Hospital Summerville Campus and Piedmont McDuffie Hospital.[3]Piedmont Healthcare
Piedmont Healthcare serves the state of Georgia. As of 2021, they claimed to serve 70% of its population.[4][non-primary source needed]
In May 2021, Piedmont Healthcare announced the acquisition of four hospitals from HCA Healthcare for about $950 million, which included Eastside Medical Center in Snellville; Coliseum Medical Centers and Coliseum Northside, both in Macon; and Cartersville Medical Center in Cartersville.[5][non-primary source needed][6][non-primary source needed]
A few days later, they announced a partnership over ten years with University Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.[7][non-primary source needed][8][non-primary source needed] In March 2022, they announced that agreement led to the acquisition of University Hospitals giving them control over three more hospitals in Georgia.[1][3]
The rapid acquisition of seven hospitals by Piedmont Healthcare in Georgia prompted the National Nurses United, the largest organization of registered nurses in the United States, to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission in 2021. They alleged the consolidations would give Piedmont close to a monopoly in the area.[9][10]
