Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center (formerly known as Athens Regional Medical Center) is a hospital in Athens, Georgia. The hospital has 427 beds, a trauma center, and a neonatal intensive care unit.[1] The hospital was founded in 1919 and became part of the Piedmont Healthcare system in 2016.[1][2] As of 2025, the hospital had a gross patient revenue of $3.8 billion.[2]
In 2015, the president and CEO of the hospital resigned after medical personnel voted 270-0 to having “no confidence” in the hospital’s administration.[3][4] The hospital has drawn controversy for alleged retaliation and union busting against maintenance employees who voted in August 2024 to unionize with the International Union of Operating Engineers.[5][6] The IUOE has filed unfair labor practice charges against the hospital with the National Labor Relations Board.[5][7][8]
U.S. News & World Report has ranked the hospital the twelfth best in Georgia.[9]
