The American Urological Association (AUA) was founded in 1902. It is the premier professional association for the advancement of urologic patient care. AUA works to ensure that its more than 15,000 members are current on the latest research and practices in urology.
The AUA Foundation is a partnership of physicians, researchers, health-care professionals, patients, caregivers, families and the public established to support and promote research, patient/public education and advocacy that improve the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of urological disease.
From its founding in 1906 as Athens' first hospital, St. Mary's has provided compassionate care to the people of Athens and Northeast Georgia. Today, St. Mary's is Northeast Georgia's only faith-based health care system, continuing a tradition of providing personalized care inspired by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and now sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.
Since the first cornerstone was laid more than 75 years ago, the hospital has continuously expanded to meet the growing health care needs of our community. Athens Regional Medical Center has developed into a 315 bed referral center serving the northeast Georgia area. As a full service health care facility, Athens Regional provides the community a vast array of specialized medical, surgical and diagnostic procedures.
