THOMASTON, Ga., Feb. 19, 2026 — Upson Regional Medical Center (URMC) announces a new partnership with Core Clinical Partners to provide Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine management and operational support.

Core will officially begin Emergency and Hospital Medicine services on April 16, 2026.
“Core Clinical Partners is well known for its relationship-driven approach and consistent performance in community hospitals like ours, making them a trusted partner as we continue to deliver excellent care rooted in compassion for all,” said Daniel Owens, URMC’s chief executive officer.
