Regional Health System Focuses on Rural Advanced Care
Colquitt Regional Health System in Moultrie, Georgia, is highlighted in a Public Television feature for its advancements in rural healthcare, including specialized services and training programs.
Moultrie, Georgia – Colquitt Regional Health System is challenging the notion that advanced medical care is exclusive to major metropolitan areas. The health system's efforts to enhance rural healthcare access and quality are the subject of an upcoming Public Television feature, "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia."
The organization has reportedly made a sustained commitment to clinical excellence, modern infrastructure, and recruiting specialist physicians in Moultrie. The program aims to showcase how Colquitt Regional's localized investments, including graduate medical education programs and expanded specialty services, have transformed a community hospital into a hub for advanced patient care and medical training.
Filmed in September 2026, the "All Access" segment explores how direct investment in local development and workforce training impacts patient outcomes. The feature also examines the role of data diversity and local workforce development in building a sustainable health network that effectively serves its population.
"Our goal isn't simply to bring more healthcare to our community—it's to create a health system where patients can access the same level of advanced care they would expect to find in a major metropolitan area, while remaining close to home," stated Jim Matney, President and CEO of Colquitt Regional Health System.
The program also addresses common challenges in rural healthcare, such as physician shortages and limited access to specialized treatments. Colquitt Regional's model reportedly offers a solution by developing local training programs that equip physicians to meet regional health needs, thereby strengthening the system for underserved populations.
