Albany Westover Medical Supply Hub – Phoebe Putney, Dougherty County, and Southwest Georgia Response
Albany, Georgia’s Westover corridor links Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Phoebe North, Albany Area Primary Health Care, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, and Southwest Georgia’s trauma network. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #2801 at 108 S Westover Boulevard keeps hospitals, oncology centers, EMS units, and agricultural clinics supplied without waiting for Columbus or Macon deliveries.
We stage oncology trials for Phoebe Cancer Center, cardiac implants for Albany Heart & Vascular, neonatal supplies for Phoebe Women’s & Children’s, ALS caches for Dougherty County EMS, HVAC plant occupational kits, and hurricane/ tornado surge gear for SW Georgia Mutual Aid. When caregivers search “medical suppliers near me” anywhere from Americus to Bainbridge, this Westover hub responds with compliant, timestamped logistics.
Albany rebuilt after the 1994 and 1998 floods, survived 2017 tornado outbreaks, and led state vaccination efforts during COVID‑19. That history shaped our approach: redundant power, elevated storage, bilingual instructions, and partnerships with Dougherty EMA and GEMA Region 3 to keep rural counties connected.

Albany’s Resilience Story
Albany’s riverfront powered steamboats, civil rights leadership, and today’s logistics corridor. The city endured the 1994 “500-year” flood, 2017 tornado outbreaks, and the nation’s highest per-capita COVID-19 surge in spring 2020. Each event reinforced the need for resilient supply staging. Our Westover counter integrates floodplain mapping, generator backup, and satellite comms to keep lines open when infrastructure fails.
