COLUMBUS, Ga. ( WRBL ) — A project years in the making is finally completed. What was once known as Doctors Hospital in Columbus is now the Bill and Olivia Amos Children’s Hospital.
It’s the city’s first stand-alone hospital serving children.
This hospital was built with a lot of heart and soul. Not to create a place for small adults. This is not a building for us to take care of small adults. This is a building for us to take care of children.
Cary Burcham, Chief Nursing Officer, Columbus Piedmont Regional
For many families, this is much more than a hospital, but rather, a safe haven for their children.
Jess Luttrell and her soon-to-be 5 year-old son, Joseph, are a testament to that, calling Piedmont home.
It gives me a whole lot of peace knowing that we have this resource in our own backyard. It keeps us close to home.
Jess Luttrell, Joseph’s Mother
Joseph is the 2024 Children’s Miracle Network Champion . He spent nearly a month in the neo-natal intensive care unit when he was born and was later diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome. His mother says the hospital is a godsend.
