Piedmont Newton Hospital

Piedmont Newton Hospital In May 2019, Piedmont Newton completed a $10 million expansion and renovation of the Emergency Department.

We’re a nonprofit health care system of 27 hospitals and 2100+ physical locations providing safe, cost-effective, high-quality care close to home.

Piedmont Newton Hospital is a 107-bed, acute-care, community hospital in Covington, Georgia offering 24-hour emergency services, women’s services, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), an Intensivist-staffed Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and general medical/surgical services. The project doubled the department’s capacity from 16 beds to 32 beds, created an additional nurses’ station, and a room for higher acuity trauma cases. Serving Newton County and surrounding communities for over 60 years, Piedmont Newton Hospital offers high-quality, patient-centered care. As a not-for-profit organization, hospital earnings go directly back into maintaining and improving services and facilities and to educational outreach.

Today, Liberty Middle School students got a behind-the-scenes look at the heart of our community care. At Piedmont Newton Hospital, they met the dedicated teams in Environmental Services, Dietary, and Supply Chain—neighbors who keep everything running smoothly.

They also heard from Chief Nursing Officer Beth Murdock and Emergency Department physician Dr. Brittany Hackett, fearless experts who shared how compassion and skill come together in nursing and emergency medicine.

Thank you to Newton County Schools for giving these students the chance to see how every role here makes a positive difference in every life we touch—because care is more than medicine, it’s humanity at every step.

On November 7th, Piedmont Oncology opened a stand-alone Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic (EDC), the first of its kind in Georgia, at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. The EDC will provide accurate risk assessment for patients, improve awareness of pancreatic cancer, allow opportunities for potential research opportunities, and increase ease of access for referring clinicians and for patients. The EDC would not be possible without the generous contributions and commitments by philanthropic donors to the program.

Piedmont Newton Hospital has officially earned Primary Stroke Center certification from its accrediting body, Det Norske Veritas Healthcare, Inc. (DNV) a major step forward in providing life-saving stroke care right here in our community.. This certification means we can treat most stroke patients without transferring them to larger facilities, ensuring faster, more effective care close to home.

Just ask Quinton Smith, 40, who suffered a stroke in June while washing his car with his six-year-old son. Living just 12 minutes from Piedmont Newton, Quinton received immediate care that saved his life. Today, he says he’s “on top of the world” and “feeling better every day.” He recently returned to thank his care team for giving him more time with his son.

📊 Georgia’s stroke death rate is 30% higher than the national average, but thanks to high-quality care at Piedmont Newton, we’re working to change that one patient at a time..

From early detection to survivorship, our expert teams provide compassionate, innovative care across Georgia - so patients can focus on healing without leaving their communities. We see the strength in every diagnosis, the courage in every treatment, and the resilience in every recovery.

To every patient we’ve served and continue to serve: thank you for trusting us with your care.

Throughout October, team members across the Piedmont network wore pink each Wednesday in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to raising awareness, supporting early detection, and standing with those impacted by breast cancer.

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S., but when detected early, the five-year survival rate is 99%. Annual screenings save lives and we’re here to make them accessible and convenient.

If you haven’t scheduled your mammogram, now is the time.

Dr. Vishnubhotla shared insights on genetics and tumor biology, offering a deeper understanding of how these breakthroughs are improving long-term survivorship. With compassion for newly diagnosed patients, families, and caregivers, she emphasized a powerful message: most breast cancers today are not only treatable but often curable.

Covington resident Robyn Harris Dye, 70, had surgery this summer to remove a suspicious lump found during a mammogram at the Women’s Diagnostic Center at Piedmont Newton. Thanks to expanded access to reconstructive care through the Piedmont Clinic, Robyn was able to have her lumpectomy and follow-up care close to home.

Following her procedure, Robyn received the best news—no breast cancer. With peace of mind about her health, she’s now focused on what matters most: her grandchildren and her online health and beauty business.
