Building Whole Health in Northwest Georgia
Our AdventHealth hospitals in Northwest Georgia strive to live out our mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ by serving our community beyond the walls of our facilities.
Our community benefit programs aim to meet the area’s needs by caring for our neighbors’ physical, mental, social and spiritual health. We want our presence as health care providers to bring wellness to the greater community through initiatives that help our neighbors feel whole in body, mind and spirit.
We’re committed to growing deep roots into the hills and valleys across Northwest Georgia, the place where we call home.
The Power of a Nationwide Network Combined With a Local Focus
-
Community Programs
Our community health programs are driven by our desire to extend whole-person healing outside our buildings. Because caring for our patients’ whole health in body, mind and spirit impacts the communities around them, we desire to shape the areas we serve with care to embrace the whole community.

Community Health Needs Assessments and Plans
Every three years, we conduct community health needs assessments (CHNAs) to determine how we can help improve the lives of people who live near our hospitals. These assessments guide our plans and programming.

- Childbirth Education and Breastfeeding Classes

These free classes are for parents who plan to deliver their baby at The Baby Place in our AdventHealth Gordon hospital.
During childbirth education classes, parents will learn what to expect before, during and after birth to build their confidence. Knowing what to expect can make a substantial difference in one’s birthing experience.
Breastfeeding classes are taught by our certified AdventHealth Gordon lactation counselors. Every time a mother breastfeeds her baby, she helps the baby's immune system develop and brain grow. Classes are an excellent opportunity to be with other moms, make new friends and learn about the various stages of breastfeeding.
These classes are offered at no cost at AdventHealth Gordon in The Baby Place Lounge/Classroom from 6 to 7 pm.
