ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Phoebe Putney chief Joel Wernick was named in the 25th Anniversary edition of Georgia Trend magazine as one of the top 25 state leaders.

Wernick's leadership in the growth of the hospital is one reason he was highlighted. When he arrived at Phoebe in 1990, the hospital only had one site. There are now 30 sites.

Wernick credits the team of people he works with for his success.

"I wouldn't be there without this organization and the great people who work here that make things happen, so I'm proud for our organization, pleased that Southwest Georgia gets a little bit of notoriety," said Wernick.

Other Georgia leaders on the list include Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, Senator Johnny Isakson, and Ambassador Andrew Young.

Hospital in Georgia , United States

Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is a hospital in Albany, Georgia.

History

The hospital was created using a donation of $25,000 from Judge Francis Flagg Putney. At his request, the hospital was named after his mother, Phoebe.^[2] The hospital opened on August 1, 1911.

In 1986, the hospital was at the center of a criminal case after a GBI investigation following an unusually high percentage of cardiac arrests. Nurse Terri Rachals was indicted on twenty counts of aggravated assault, and convicted on one count as "guilty but mentally ill" of aggravated assault with intent to murder. Potassium chloride was injected into a bag of frozen plasma which was then introduced to a patient's body.^[3]

In 2010, the facility bought out the area's only other hospital, Palmyra Medical Center, for $195 million. PMC was owned by Hospital Corporation of America, the country's largest hospital operator. The acquisition ended a lawsuit over Palmyra's provision of obstetric services.^[4]
