About Us

Southern Regional Medical Center, originally dedicated as Clayton General Hospital, was established in 1971 to provide high quality medical care to the residents of Clayton County and surrounding communities. Southern Regional is a not-for-profit, community based healthcare provider and began growing into a health system in the early 1990s.
