Aiken · Coldwell Banker Best Life Realty

Healthcare in the CSRA

World-class medicine close to home. Aiken Regional covers day-to-day hospital care in town. Augusta — twenty minutes across the river — holds a children’s hospital, a Level I trauma center, an academic cancer floor, and the largest burn center in the United States. Atlanta and Charlotte are not the next stop.
