Emergency & Trauma Care
For life-threatening illness or injury, Phoebe emergency centers in Albany, Americus and Sylvester are ready to provide care, 24/7, 365 days a year.
The flagship hospital of our system, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital (PPMH), is the only Southwest Georgia hospital designated a Level 1 Emergency Cardiac Care Center, Georgia’s highest level of emergency cardiac care. PPMH is also equipped and staffed with a dedicated trauma response team of numerous surgeons skilled in a variety of specialties and highly-trained clinicians who provide specialized care for victims of extreme life-threatening injuries such as blunt force and penetrating trauma.
Our most common trauma cases involve vehicle crashes, industrial accidents, violent assaults involving guns or knives, serious falls, impalements, and other incidents that could be fatal or cause permanent, long-term, or serious disability.
Minor illnesses and injuries can be treated at Phoebe Urgent Care (Northwest Albany), Phoebe Urgent Care (East Albany), Phoebe Urgent Care (North Campus), or at Phoebe Urgent Care (Lee County). Each of these centers is staffed by highly-qualified physicians, registered nurses and technologists trained to deliver urgent care to children and adults. No appointments are necessary.
