This week, students across west Georgia spent two days helping Tanner Health celebrate its 75th anniversary — and exploring a future in health care at the organization’s Healthcare Career Expo at the new Tanner Resource Center in Carrollton.
More than 450 students attended the two-day event.
The event featured representatives from clinical departments and patient care teams from across the organization, including nursing, pharmacy, laboratory, food and nutrition services and more.
Representatives from the Tanner Health System School of Nursing and West Georgia Technical College programs also talked to students about career paths.
Students watched cooking demonstrations, gained insight into the technologies that are advancing care, heard about the different fields of nursing available — and even used pharmacy tools to fill pill bottles with candy to take with them.
If the students who attended the Healthcare Career Expo are any indication, the future of health care is as bright as those who attended.
The Healthcare Career Expo kicked off Tanner’s 75th anniversary celebrations, which will continue with events the rest of the week for volunteers, community leaders, medical staff and more.
Keep up with all of Tanner Health’s 75th anniversary celebrations. Find photos and clips from the event on Tanner Health’s social media pages and tanner.org.

About Our 75th Anniversary Events:
The Healthcare Career Expo is part of Tanner Health's celebration of its first 75 years since Tanner Memorial Hospital opened in Carrollton in 1949. Several scheduled events are intended to honor the first visionaries who found a way forward to give their neighbors and loved ones a new level of care — and the legacy of those who followed to ensure that care would always be available near home.
This major milestone also provided a unique opportunity to rebrand from Tanner Health System to Tanner Health, with a new logo and a new tagline: Your care, redefined. Learn more and watch the video at tanner.org/tanner-health-your-care-redefined.
