Due to the icy conditions of even the major roads, our offices will be closed until further notice.
We are most concerned about the safety of our patients and staff. These photos were before the ice accumulation overnight.
Thank you for your understanding. We will do our best to accommodate and reschedule appointments. Please stay home for now.

These are real patients in our Macon community. Our neighbors, friends and family are vulnerable if unvaccinated. Stay healthy. Get vaccinated.

Simply put, you can help yourself, those around you and our healthcare team by getting vaccinated! The latest numbers across all Atrium Health facilities show that 96% of COVID-19 patients on life-saving ventilators are unvaccinated, with a 29% increase in just one week.

This is very similar to what we are seeing locally at Atrium Health Navicent facilities. Of our 180 COVID-19 patients, all but 5 are unvaccinated. 45 of the 46 COVID-19 patients in our Intensive Care Units are unvaccinated, and all 40 COVID-19 patients currently on ventilators are unvaccinated.

The numbers tell the tale. Get vaccinated and stay healthy.

A new study from CDC’s COVID-NET shows that unvaccinated people are 17x more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than people who are fully vaccinated. Get vaccinated to protect yourself.

As of yesterday, these local Macon and Warner Robins hospital statistics are very concerning. Elective surgeries are being postponed as these facilities are being overwhelmed again. Please be careful, wear a mask, wash your hands and consider vaccination. If not for you, for those you love.
