Following the creation of Richmond Hill’s Heartwood medical campus, St. Joseph’s/Candler has now expanded to North Bryan, unveiling a dedicated six-acre campus in Black Creek on Tuesday afternoon.

Located along I-16, the projected multi-story, 40,000 sq. ft. facility aims to provide care for both Bryan County residents and workers–particularly ones from the neighboring Hyundai Metaplant. 

“St. Joseph’s/Candler is committed to providing easy access to health care services for patients in the region,” said Paul P. Hinchey, President & CEO of St. Joseph’s/Candler. 

“This new Black Creek Campus is designed to address the evolving needs of north Bryan County which is expected to see explosive population growth in the coming years.  St. Joseph’s/Candler is excited to add this new campus, allowing patients and businesses access to a SJ/C facility within a short drive.” 

The campus will first open up for urgent care and occupational medicine, before branching out into primary and speciality services. 

Notably, the new building will also set aside 2,300 sq. ft. for the Development Authority of Bryan County for use as office space.

"We'd like to thank St. Joseph's/Candler for making the vision a reality and for creating space for the Development Authority of Bryan County on their campus,” said Ryan Purvis, CEO of the Development Authority of Bryan County.”

Carter Infinger, Commission Chairman of the Bryan County Board of Commissioners, believes that this mixed-use planning is a “win-win” for both the Development Authority and future SJ/C patients.   

“It’s a great facility for north Bryan County, and it’s a testament to St/ Joseph’s/Candler that they saw this need,” Infinger said.
