Medical Innovation on Eisenhower: Atlantic Radiology Opens Premier Imaging Center

The region’s healthcare infrastructure received a state-of-the-art upgrade this week as Atlantic Radiology celebrated the grand opening of its Eisenhower Imaging Center. The ribbon-cutting ceremony, at 341 Eisenhower Dr., introduced community leaders and medical professionals to a facility designed to redefine diagnostic speed and accuracy in the Lowcountry. The new center features some of the most advanced technology in the field, including a 3T MRI system and a 128-slice CT scanner, alongside a comprehensive women’s imaging program. By housing screening mammography, DEXA bone density testing, and ultrasound services under one roof, Atlantic Radiology is streamlining the patient experience while providing local physicians with rapid, high-resolution results. This expansion underscores a significant investment in our city’s wellness corridor, ensuring that Savannah remains at the forefront of outpatient diagnostic care. The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce congratulates Atlantic Radiology on the opening of the Eisenhower Imaging Center and applauds their commitment to bringing world-class medical technology to our community.

Breaking Ground: Dental College of Georgia Savannah Plants Roots for a Healthier Future

A new era for healthcare education in the Lowcountry officially begins as Augusta University’s Dental College of Georgia (DCG) broke ground on its highly anticipated Savannah campus. Located at the Georgia Southern University Armstrong Campus at 11935 Abercorn St., the ceremony marked a historic expansion for the state’s only dental school. Building on a legacy of more than 65 years, the DCG Savannah campus is slated to open in 2028 and will eventually train 200 dentists to serve the region. This four-year program represents a major strategic investment in Georgia’s medical workforce, bridging the gap between education and community need. By establishing a permanent home in Savannah, the college ensures that the next generation of dental professionals is equipped to enhance the health and vitality of our coastal community for decades to come. The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce congratulates Augusta University on this monumental milestone and celebrates the continued growth of our regional higher education landscape.

Located at 201 E. 37th St., the event introduced community leaders and art enthusiasts to a significant expansion of the museum’s permanent and rotating collections. The debut included the Liren Wei Collection, a new permanent space curated by Kate Lacivita that showcases striking works from across West and Central Africa. Additionally, the museum opened Roots and Rituals: Agriculture and Spirituality in the West African Interior, an insightful look into the deep connection between land and belief systems in Mali and Burkina Faso. By bringing these unique global perspectives to the Starland District, the museum continues to serve as a vital educational hub, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse heritages within the Lowcountry.
