Endometriosis care in Georgia

Emory University in Atlanta is Georgia's site on the AAGL Complex Benign Gynecology Fellowship listing. Emory's gynecology and obstetrics patient-care pages list laparoscopic and robotic-assisted hysterectomy and myomectomy at Emory Clinic and Emory University Hospital Midtown locations, but they do not name a separate endometriosis or minimally invasive gynecologic surgery program. The Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, the state's public medical school, has its own obstetrics and gynecology department in Augusta.

Augusta is about 140 air miles from Atlanta, Savannah about 220, and Columbus about 100, so much of the state is two or more hours from either academic city. The March of Dimes 2026 report classifies 44 percent of Georgia counties as maternity care deserts, home to about 158,000 women ages 15 to 44. In the state, 44 percent of counties have no obstetric clinician, 64.8 percent have no birthing facility, 88.3 percent of rural counties lack one, and 159,000 women live more than 30 minutes from a hospital with labor and delivery services.

Georgia has not adopted Medicaid expansion, per KFF's October 2026 status table. The Georgia Department of Public Health keeps a women's health page listing state programs.
