Ty Cobb Health Care System

Letter from Ty Cobb Healthcare System CEO, Chuck Adams:

Welcome to Ty Cobb Healthcare System's website. We're glad you chose our site. It is an honor to have you with us. Let me take this time to introduce who we are.

We are known throughout Northeast Georgia as the premier healthcare provider for the communities of Franklin, Hart, and Madison counties and the surrounding areas. Our mission is to continuously improve the quality of primary, long-term and home care within our resource capabilities and to promote healthier lifestyles through education consistent with individual and community needs.

Ty Cobb Healthcare System's vision is to be the model of integrated health care that meets needs across the continuum of care from birth to dignified death. In short, we provide healthcare for our communities from childbirth, to outpatient care, to in-patient care, to long-term care.

Chuck Adams, CEO

Our healthcare system began in Royston, Georgia in 1950 with baseball's immortal Ty Cobb donating $100,000 toward the construction of a modern twenty-four-bed hospital. The hospital was designed to meet the health care needs of the people of Ty Cobb's hometown and surrounding northeast Georgia. Since then, Ty Cobb Healthcare System has grown into Cobb Memorial Hospital with 71 beds, Hart County Hospital with 73 beds, Brown Memorial Convalescent Center with 144 beds, Cobb Health Care Center with 117 beds, Hartwell Health Care Center with 92 beds, and the Gables with 48 beds.

Ty Cobb dedicated Cobb Memorial Hospital to the Glory of God and in loving memory of William Herschel and Amanda Cobb. The Royston Record described the new facility as "one of the most modern and best equipped hospitals that has been built under the Hill Burton (Federal Act) in the state of Georgia," containing "the latest equipment... that could be bought." Today, our healthcare system continues to be a modern well-equipped system with exceptional doctors, highly trained staff, and compassionate care.

Ty Cobb Healthcare System is a private self-supporting nonprofit health care organization geared toward serving the community. We are constantly seeking better ways to serve you. Our system wants to be your healthcare provider of choice, your local employer of choice, and a good community citizen.

Give a local Ty Cobb facility a visit, you will be pleased at how we are growing and listening. Our facilities are changing… we're constantly adding new physicians… we're constantly adding and improving services... plus our staff is getting better training every day. From a very simple beginning, we are now a progressive organization bound to serve you… our neighbors.

Thank you, once again for visiting our site.

Chuck Adams
CEO, Ty Cobb Healthcare System
