Southeast Georgia Health System leadership recently announced a strategic partnership with its Senior Care Centers and PruittHealth, a respected leader in the senior care industry. This collaboration, effective September 1, 2024, marks a pivotal step in the Health System’s commitment to enhancing the services available to its residents at its Brunswick and St. Marys skilled nursing facility locations

By joining forces with PruittHealth, Southeast Georgia Health System is poised to enhance the range and quality of senior care services available in the community. PruittHealth brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to seniors, aligning seamlessly with our mission to provide exceptional health care services.

“We are excited to embark on this journey with PruittHealth,” says Scott Raynes, MBA, MA, president and CEO of Southeast Georgia Health System. “This partnership underscores our dedication to enhancing the quality of life for our seniors. PruittHealth’s reputation for excellence and their commitment to personalized care make them an ideal partner as we work together to serve our community better.”

Based in Georgia, PruittHealth is a family-owned organization in operation for more than 50 years. The organization’s 14,500 employee partners serve approximately 24,000 patients daily in more than 180 locations in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee offering skilled nursing and senior living care, veteran services, home health care, hospice and palliative care, therapy services, pharmacy and infusion services, and more.

As part of the collaboration, PruittHealth will manage the Senior Care Centers, which will remain owned by Southeast Georgia Health System. Senior Care Center team members will transition to PruittHealth as employees.

“This partnership represents a significant opportunity for growth and enhancement within our Senior Care Centers,” adds Raynes. “Both organizations are committed to a seamless transition, ensuring minimal disruption to the care our residents currently receive.”
