Augusta University Health System (AUHS) has signed a letter of intent with Wellstar Health System to form an innovative new partnership that would expand Augusta University’s educational and research missions and allow Wellstar Health System to create a broader affiliation with the university’s Medical College of Georgia (MCG) as AUHS joins the Wellstar Health System.
The potential partnership is the culmination of a thoughtful and deliberate process begun in 2019 by AUHS, its governing board and Augusta University to strategically grow MCG while expanding and improving both patient care and Georgians’ access to health care services across the state.
The proposed partnership would innovate clinical care, training and research while adopting a successful model of bringing together community-based health systems and academic medical centers such as MCG and its teaching hospitals. MCG and Augusta University are part of the University System of Georgia (USG), and MCG serves as the only public medical school in the state.
“AUHS, Augusta University and the Wellstar Health System have a shared mission to solve Georgia’s health care challenges,” USG Chancellor Sonny Perdue said. “By joining forces and working together, we can leverage Wellstar’s clinical platform and leading-edge systems to support patients while providing more opportunities for students to learn, train and care for residents in local communities across Georgia.”

It's Giving Tuesday! We believe that no student should have to choose between food and learning. The goal of the Open Paws Food Pantry at Augusta University is to serve as emergency food relief for AU students experiencing food insecurity. As students navigate the end of the fall semester and think ahead to final exams, the need for supporting them is critical. For the cost of your morning latte or a subscription to Spotify or Apple Music, you could help students in need. $7.00 represents the cost of a nutritious meal, and $50.00 could feed a student for a week! Or check out the gift registry below to purchase nutrition and personal care items that students need the most.
Compared with students who have reliable access to enough food, students who are food insecure experience significantly higher rates of depression, loneliness and anxiety. They also have lower self-esteem and lower grade-point averages and are more likely to withdraw from the university before earning their degrees. A new, nationally representative study of more than 1,500 college students found that students who lacked consistent access to enough food were 43% less likely to graduate than their food-secure p*ers, and 61% less likely to get an advanced degree, like a master’s or doctorate, in the years that followed.

“For people with sleep apnea, it’s a struggle for them to sleep. They can’t breathe. They’re oxygen-starved and sleep-deprived, and that problem just compounds every night that they try to go to sleep,” said Penny Mehaffey, Lead Polysomnographic Technologist at Augusta University Health. “That’s one of the sad things about it – sleep apnea is something that can be treated fairly easily.”
Mehaffey recently received the Inspire Care Pathway Certification, an advanced certification for an implant that is a fairly new alternative to Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. She is the only polysomnographic technologist in Georgia to have earned this certification.
