Piedmont Augusta ranked first among regional hospitals in the Augusta metro area in the 2026-27 Best Hospitals rankings. At Piedmont McDuffie Hospital, the Georgia Department of Public Health renewed its Remote Treatment Stroke Center status.
Piedmont Augusta also ranked No. 14 statewide in Georgia and was rated high performing across eight procedures or conditions. The renewed designation at Piedmont McDuffie indicates the hospital can provide rapid, evidence-based stroke care through telemedicine and connects it to Piedmont’s regional stroke network.
Both honors came as the 2026-27 fiscal year opened.
The hospitals are part of Piedmont’s Georgia network, which operates about 2,000 sites. That includes 28 hospitals, 122 immediate care centers and 1,875 Piedmont Clinic physician practices. The clinic has more than 3,900 members, and the system has more than 50,000 caregivers.
