Ogeechee OB/Gyn Celebrates 60 Years of Women’s Healthcare and Innovation in Southeast Georgia
In 2026, Ogeechee OB/Gyn celebrates a milestone few medical practices reach: 60 years of caring for women in Statesboro and across southeast Georgia. The story began in 1966, when Dr. Bob Richardson became the first OB/GYN in the region, bringing dedicated obstetric and gynecologic specialty care to Statesboro and the old Bulloch Memorial Hospital.
