About the Company
Medical Associates Plus (MAP) is a community-based healthcare organization with deep roots in Augusta and the surrounding region. Our story began in 1993 when University Hospital, the Richmond County Health Department, and the Richmond County Commission partnered to address gaps in care for underserved populations. Following a community needs assessment that identified significant health disparities in the 30906-zip code, the Neighborhood Improvement Project, Inc. was established in 1998 to expand access to essential healthcare services.
Originally operating as Belle Terrace Health & Wellness Centers, MAP welcomed its first patient in 1999. Since then, the organization has grown significantly. Renamed Medical Associates Plus in 2016, MAP expanded to include multiple clinic locations and a mobile health unit.
Today, MAP serves more than 50,000 patients annually across over 25 locations, delivering high-quality primary care to individuals and families throughout Greater Augusta and surrounding communities.
