Wellstar Health System is comprised of a 10-hospital system in the metropolitan Atlanta region plus Wellstar MCG Health in Augusta GA (formerly Augusta University Health System).
Our flagship cardiac hospital is Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center in Marietta, GA. Wellstar Kennestone is a 3 tower, 630-bed hospital with an active expansion plan underway. We currently have an 18 bed CCU and a premier temporary mechanical support program for cardiogenic shock, which includes VA-ECMO, Impella CP/RP/5.5, Tandem Heart, Protek Duo, and IABP (femoral and axillary). In addition, we have a robust durable LVAD program that is among the leaders in the country in terms of implant volume at non-transplant centers. We also have a high-volume cardiac surgery program, and we have become regional leaders in implanting the Heartmate 3 device via thoracotomy approach.
We have developed close relationships with multiple academic centers that serve as transplant partners. Finally, we have developed a comprehensive cardiomyopathy program, with expertise in the diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, and cardiac sarcoidosis.

Our team provides inpatient and outpatient care of patients with heart failure, chronic inotropic support, and durable LVAD therapy.
