There are moments that remind us why healthcare is so meaningful, not only for the patients we serve, but for the teams who dedicate their careers to making a difference. We celebrated 12 outstanding pharmacy residents at the Wellstar MCG Health Pharmacy Residency Graduation, marking a major milestone: the program’s 50th anniversary.

From its beginnings in 1975 to becoming a nationally respected program, this residency has helped shape the next generation of pharmacy leaders and strengthen patient care for our communities. Congratulations to the Class of 2026, and thank you to the faculty, preceptors and mentors whose dedication continues to build a brighter future for healthcare at Wellstar and beyond.

At Wellstar MCG Health, we paused together last Thursday to honor the true meaning of Memorial Day and to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Joined by team members, veterans, and community partners, we reflected on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave their lives so others may live in freedom. We were grateful to the North Augusta High School JROTC for the presentation of colors and flag ceremony, the moving performance of Military Taps, our talented trio for their beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, and Wellstar MCG Health Lab Director and Army veteran Kellie Vinson for sharing a heartfelt commemorative poem.

At Wellstar MCG Health, service takes many forms, and every day our team members dedicate themselves to caring for others in moments of need. This Memorial Day, we pause to honor those whose service came at the ultimate cost and remember the heroes who never made it home.
