What Our Residents Say About Moultrie
“I came to Moultrie for medical school, from St. Petersburg, Florida, and fell in love with the town. When I heard about the new psychiatry residency program at Georgia South, I knew I wanted to stay in Moultrie.” - Woody Gramling, Psychiatry Resident
“I'm originally from Northport, Alabama, but there are so many things I’ve come to love about Moultrie. From the moment I arrived, I’ve felt genuinely welcomed and valued—not just by the community, but also by the hospital and its incredible staff. What really stands out to me is how close-knit this town is. You can truly feel the care and support people have for one another, and that sense of connection makes Moultrie a special place to be.” - Faith Hagler, Psychiatry Resident

“I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida. I like living in Moultrie because it is beautiful, quiet and has the small-town southern charm to it. Even though it is a small town, there are many things to do even with small children. There are lots of family-owned restaurants to dine at which I love. Also, the community has been very welcoming since day one. If I need something that I can't find in Moultrie, Valdosta, and Thomasville are a short car ride away. A big bonus is that daycares are not outrageously priced like in a big city, and there is no traffic.” - Carol Medina, Family Medicine Resident
“I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama. I have always lived in the south and have spent some time working in New York with clinical training. Coming to Moultrie, surrounded by the farmlands and greenery, has been a nice change of scenery. I have also enjoyed the warm support the community has given for new faces within their health care system.” - Wilson Baumgartner, Psychiatry Resident
