Every time we treat, heal and encourage a patient toward wellness we achieve our mission and realize our vision. The high standard of care and service is exemplified in each WellStar Health System location and in every community service, educational program, event and outreach we offer. For more than half a century and three generations, WellStar has grown its not-for-profit healthcare system to a network securing grants and partnerships for research, training, and development and receiving accolades by the healthcare industry’s top organization. In 2002, WellStar accepted the nation’s first certification for the management of multiple chronic diseases from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the nation’s predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare.
