Emory Healthcare has announced the opening of a new clinic in Warner Robins, Georgia, that will provide specialized heart, vascular, and transplant care to residents of Central Georgia. The facility is the first in the area to offer these services and will be staffed by clinicians from Emory Healthcare Heart & Vascular and Emory Healthcare Transplant teams.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on September 25, 2025, at the Roy H. “Sonny” Watson Health Pavilion on North Houston Road. The event included members of the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce, community members, Emory physicians, and leadership.
Kevin Splaine, CEO of Emory Hospital Warner Robins and Emory Hospital Perry, stated: “Following the integration of Houston Healthcare and Emory Healthcare in June of this year, our promise was to expand access to care and services in Central Georgia, and we are happy to take the first step and deliver on that promise. This new clinic represents our commitment to improving lives and providing hope through compassionate, innovative and accessible care.”
The clinic’s heart and vascular services will cover electrophysiology, heart failure treatment, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTPH), structural heart procedures, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and thoracic surgery.
Angel Leon, MD, executive director of Emory Heart & Vascular said: “This clinic provides patients an option for specialized care closer to home. They will no longer have to travel long distances to meet with experts about their condition. This clinic will ease that burden and provide timely, advanced treatment that can make all the difference in a patient’s journey.”
The facility will also offer kidney care as well as pre- and post-transplant services. Thomas Pearson, MD, PhD, transplant surgeon at the Emory Transplant Center commented: “Our transplant specialists will be able to see patients pre-transplant and then again post-transplant in the Warner Robins clinic, offering a needed service locally. Expanding our footprint in Central Georgia will better support our patients and families with specialty care.”
The new clinic is scheduled to begin seeing patients later this month.
