🚨 Coming Fall 2025: Doctors Hospital Evans Emergency 🚨

Columbia County’s first freestanding emergency room is currently under construction in Evans, Georgia, and will open this fall.

📍Location: 464 N Belair Road, Evans, Georgia 30809

Doctors Hospital Evans Emergency will be a full-service ER, open 24/7/365, and staffed by Board-Certified Emergency Physicians and Nurses. This freestanding ER will be able to take care of all your family's emergency medical needs and provide the same outstanding care as you would get at a full service hospital.

🏥 What is a Freestanding ER?

A freestanding emergency room (FSER) is an extension of a hospital’s ER, located off-campus. Ours will operate as part of Doctors Hospital of Augusta, meeting the same licensing, safety, and quality standards as the hospital’s emergency department.

✔️ Open 24/7/365
✔️ Board-Certified Emergency Physicians & Nurses
✔️ On-site imaging (CT, X-ray) & lab services
✔️ Dedicated ambulance bay
✔️ Seamless transfer if hospital admission is needed
✔️ Accepts the same insurance plans as the hospital ER

❓ ER vs. Urgent Care: Where Should You Go?
Knowing the difference can save time — and even lives.

Go to the ER if you experience:
• Suspected heart attack or stroke
• Trouble breathing
• Severe burns, allergic reactions, or deep wounds
• Broken bones or major injuries
• High fever with dehydration
• Drug/alcohol overdose or poisoning

Visit urgent care for:
• Cold & flu symptoms
• Minor burns, cuts, or sprains
• Ear infections or sore throats
• Migraines, rashes, or bug bites
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

If in doubt, don’t delay care. When in an emergency, go straight to the ER. With Doctors Hospital Evans Emergency, you’ll soon have access to the same quality emergency care — closer to home.

Last Friday, our leadership team had the privilege of volunteering for Project Serve with the United Way of the CSRA. 💙

We spent the day at the Boys & Girls Club, building furniture, painting the gym, organizing supplies, and tackling projects to support the kids and staff who make such a difference in our community. We were also proud to sponsor the kickoff breakfast, where our CEO, Joanna Conley, shared remarks alongside other community leaders.

This year’s United Way campaign, United Is the Way, is focused on long-term impact—helping 30,000 local ALICE households by 2030. These are families working hard but still struggling to cover essentials like rent, childcare, and transportation.

We’re grateful for the chance to roll up our sleeves, work together, and support an organization that continues to meet critical needs.

👏 Thank you, United Way of the CSRA, for all you do to strengthen our community.

Mosquitoes live all over the world — except in Antarctica and Iceland. The U.S. has about 200 species of mosquitoes, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that only about 12 types spread diseases that can make people sick, such as West Nile or Zika.

For the most part, mosquito bites are more of a nuisance than a danger in this country. But some people develop a strong allergic reaction called skeeter syndrome that can lead to more serious symptoms.

🧠⏱️ Every second counts when someone is suffering from a stroke. At Doctors Hospital of Augusta, we’re proud to be part of our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, which collectively responds to strokes 45% faster than the national standard. We know door-to-needle (DTN) time is critical. Here, we explain what DTN time is and why it matters.

DTN time is the amount of time between an ischemic stroke patient's arrival at the hospital (“door”) and when they receive a clot-busting medication (“needle”) to help restore blood flow to the brain. The faster the medicine is given, the more brain cells can potentially be saved, helping to reduce the risk of long-term disability or stroke.

Know the signs of stroke. Act FAST. Call 911 immediately. To learn more about our expert, lifesaving stroke care, visit https://bit.ly/3HmB1Ws

Please join us in congratulating our most recent DAISY Nurse Award Winner: Loteah Shavers, LPN in CDU!

DAISY Award recipients exemplify Doctors Hospital of Augusta’s dedication to providing an exceptional patient experience. These nurses go above and beyond to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to their patients.

One patient described Loteah as amazing—professional, patient, and attentive to every detail of their care. She made the patient and their family feel welcome from the very beginning, offering more than just medications and mobility assistance. Loteah encouraged them with kindness, even singing as they walked to the restroom together. She took the time to acknowledge and check on them, even when busy with other tasks.

During a hospital stay marked by both joy and sorrow, Loteah’s compassion, attentiveness, and generosity brought comfort and ease. Her ability to connect with patients and provide care that touches both body and spirit makes her an outstanding example of nursing excellence.
