About Us

Tanner Health is a not-for-profit, community-based health system providing a continuum of high-quality healthcare services within our resource capabilities, leading a collaborative effort with the community to provide health education, support services and care for all of our neighbors.

Tanner was established more than 70 years ago when a forward-thinking group of community leaders in west Georgia gathered and sought to provide their neighbors and loved ones with the best healthcare services close to home.

Since 1949, Tanner has grown from a single community hospital to a regional comprehensive healthcare provider that services a nine-county area of more than 600,000 people in west Georgia and east Alabama.

The health system’s facilities include:

  • 181-bed acute care Tanner Medical Center/ Carrollton
  • 53-bed acute care Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica
  • 25-bed critical access Higgins General Hospital in Bremen
  • 92-bed inpatient behavioral health facility Willowbrooke at Tanner in Villa Rica 
  • 15-bed critical access Tanner Medical Center/ East Alabama 
  • 64-unit senior living community, The Birches at Villa Rica 

Tanner also operates Tanner Medical Group, one of metro Atlanta’s largest multi-specialty physician groups, with about 40 medical practice locations serving the region. More than 400 physicians representing 34 distinct specialties, from allergies and asthma to urology and vascular surgery, make up the health system’s medical staff.
