To our prospective teammates,

I am the medical director at Memorial Health University Medical Center, in charming Savannah, Georgia. Memorial Health UMC offers several residency programs, including an internal medicine program; thus, many hospitalists on our team have completed their residency here. Their decision to remain with us following the completion of their residency underscores the strength of our work ethic, collaborative spirit, and organizational culture. All our physicians are dedicated and motivated to provide the best standard of care to the people of Southeast Georgia and its multiple surrounding counties. I want to share more details about our people, practice, and purpose as you consider your options.
