Adventist Health System Georgia, Inc. (doing business as AdventHealth Murray)[3] is a non-profit hospital in Chatsworth, Georgia, United States owned by AdventHealth. It was formerly owned by Murray County Hospital Authority Board. The hospital is a designated remote treatment stroke center.[4]

History

In 1949, Murray Medical Center was founded.[5] On September 29, 2014, Adventist Health System and Murray County Hospital Authority Board signed a lease agreement for Murray Medical Center. Adventist Health System paid the $5.1 million debt the Murray County Hospital Authority Board owed to Hamilton Health Care System.[5][6] On January 2, 2019, Murray Medical Center was rebranded to AdventHealth Murray.[7]

On December 15, 2020, AdventHealth purchased AdventHealth Murray from the Murray County Hospital Authority Board.[5][8]

In late March 2024, the Chatsworth City Council approved the annexation of 41 acres (17 ha) west of U.S. Route 76, for a new hospital to replace AdventHealth Murray.[9][10] On May 12, 2026, it was announced that the new hospital would be 185,000 square foot (17,200 m2) and have a medical office building.[11][12][13] The newer smaller 42-bed hospital will have stonework from Northwest Georgia, and the medical facility will be able to expand at the site in the future.[12]

Partnership

In April 2019, AdventHealth Murray partnered with Erlanger Health System to offer stroke neurologists through telemedicine, this will reduce the time to treat the hospital's patients.[14][15]

Awards and recognitions

AdventHealth Murray received from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services a five-star rating from 2021 to 2023.[16][17][18] And received it again in 2025 to 2026.[19][20] On December 4, 2025, medical facility was recognized by Forbes in its new Top Hospitals list with a five star ranking.[21][22]
