Children’s Hospital of Georgia: Your Academic and Clinical Home

As a Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist, your practice home will be the Children’s Hospital of Georgia (CHOG), part of Wellstar MCG Health in Augusta.

Walking through its halls, you’ll immediately sense the mission-driven focus on compassionate, child-centered care supported by the resources of a major academic health system.
