Wellstar Health System Wins Best in Real Estate Honors

Wellstar Health System was named among the winners of the Best in Real Estate Awards honoring the top deals in Atlanta commercial real estate. The awards honor top commercial real estate deals across Atlanta for the year.

Known as one of the largest and most integrated healthcare systems in Georgia, Wellstar Health System was one of three contenders for, and won the top prize for, Healthcare Deal of the Year for its new $126 million Wellstar Kennestone Emergency Department in Marietta, which serves the vital healthcare needs of up to 600 patients daily and up to 220,000 patients annually at full capacity.

The new ED opened July 2020. Opening the Southeast's largest and busiest EDs would be a feat any typical year; Wellstar Health System accomplished this daunting task while navigating the challenging, emotional, and ever-changing COVID-19 pandemic.

Presented by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the award winners were announced in a virtual ceremony on April 15.

Earlier the same week, Great Place to Work® and Fortune honored Wellstar Health System as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For®, Wellstar’s fourth time on this prestigious list of the best companies to work for in the nation. Wellstar is the only Georgia-based healthcare company included in the 2021 ranking; only two other companies headquartered in Georgia were included in this year’s list.
