Sumter Regional Hospital is a 143-bed, licensed private hospital and diversified medical center with a focus on community and customer service. From a humble beginning of only eight beds, Sumter Regional Hospital has grown into one of the leading healthcare providers in Southwest Georgia. For almost a century, SRH has continued to evolve and develop along with the needs of our region and our people.

    In 1908, a group of Americus women established the Americus and Sumter County Hospital Association. This paved the way for an eight-bed hospital to be erected. After a period of prosperity, the Association began making plans for an even larger Sumter County Hospital in 1914, which consisted of 27 beds. Eighteen years later, in 1932, a 27-bed annex was added to the back of the hospital and was the impetus for even further and more rapid growth.

    In 1952, a new Americus and Sumter County Hospital was dedicated. The two million dollar facility, located on the north side of town began seeing patients in 1953. The hospital later received a huge facelift in 1975, starting with the addition of an east wing due to continued patient growth. During the remainder of that decade and throughout the 80�s, SRH grew by leaps and bounds, adding services including: coronary care, telemetry, a Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Post-partum (LDRP) unit, oncology clinic, rehabilitative services and a whole host of other departments and services.

    SRH took a big step forward to ensure it could meet the needs of its patients through the millennium by initiating a $21.5-million dollar expansion and renovation project in 1997. In 1999, the vision took form as the new 94,000 square foot expansion was completed.

    Sumter Regional Hospital is now a diversified health care system; complete with a 100-bed nursing care facility, Hospice, Migrant Health Center, School Nurse Program and several physicians� office practices. Our future is as bright as ever and we will continue to create new programs as our patients� needs grow. The people of Sumter Regional Hospital will continue to strive to provide our community with quality healthcare at a fair price. We are and will continue to be People and Technology Caring For You.
