Doctors Hospital of Augusta

At Doctors Hospital, we believe in elevating care by elevating each other — and our patient care technicians (PCTs) bring that to life every day.

During PCT Week, we proudly celebrate our PCTs whose work makes a meaningful impact across HCA Healthcare — a network that supports approximately 47 million patient encounters each year.

PCTs are integral members of the care team, delivering hands-on care that directly supports patient outcomes. From assisting with mobility, personal care and meals to collaborating continuously with nurses and interdisciplinary teams, PCTs contribute essential clinical and compassionate care throughout the day. Their role reflects both technical skill and a commitment to teamwork, making them a foundational part of high-quality patient care.

To our PCTs, thank you for the care, comfort and support you bring to patients and colleagues alike.

Strokes happen suddenly. Knowing the signs — and acting fast — can save lives. Use B.E. F.A.S.T. to spot stroke warning signs. If you notice these signs, call 911 right away.

Our broader HCA Healthcare network and the HCA Healthcare Foundation collaborate with the American Heart Association on their Getting to the Heart of Stroke™ initiative. Together, we're helping to raise awareness about the connection between heart health and stroke.
