St. Mary's Health Care System is a dynamic, fast-growing Catholic health care system whose mission is to be a compassionate and transforming healing presence in a multi-county region of Northeast Georgia. St. Mary's history of compassion and care for the people of Northeast Georgia dates to 1906 - more than 110 years. We have been in continuous operation since 1938 under the sponsorship of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, and since 2013, Catholic Health Ministries. Our values and mission flow from their devotion and service to God and humanity.
