About This Newspaper


The Augusta Medical Examiner was founded with a very simple mission in mind: to serve as the information resource for anyone interested in health and wellness among Augusta’s large and growing medical community and the many patients it serves. The Examiner is published twice monthly in both print and online versions.

The 25,000 people in the Augusta area who work in healthcare are the Garden City’s economic bedrock, worth billions of dollars to the local economy each year. More importantly, they contribute a prime quality-of-life asset to the entire region: access to healthcare of the highest calibre.

With this information on its pages, the goal of the Augusta Medical Examiner is twofold: to provide a central source of information within the healthcare community, and to offer timely wellness information to readers in general, to everyone interested in the vital topic of better health.

The Augusta Medical Examiner is the only publication in the greater Augusta area whose sole focus is health and wellness. General readers and medical personnel alike find the Augusta Medical Examiner to be an excellent source of health information and an important guide to choosing their healthcare providers.
