Piedmont Newnan Hospital is a U.S. News Best Regional Hospital, ranked #17 in Georgia and #13 in the Atlanta metro area, rated high performing in 8 adult procedures and conditions (including abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, colon cancer surgery, heart arrhythmia, heart attack, and heart failure) and 5-of-5 on cardiology/heart surgery specifically. Healthgrades gives it a 3-of-5-star overall quality rating with 71% of surveyed patients willing to recommend it, alongside recent Patient Safety Excellence, Outpatient Prostate Care Excellence, and Pulmonary Care Excellence awards. It reads as average (not top-tier) on cancer, endocrinology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, nephrology, orthopedics, pulmonary, and urology per the same sources (U.S. News, Healthgrades, retrieved 2026-08-22) -- a real, disclosed mixed picture rather than a uniformly top-ranked facility.
Crime: both major sources agree Newnan runs above the national average
This is a real, disclosed concern rather than a source disagreement -- both major crime-data sources point the same direction. NeighborhoodScout cites a combined crime rate of 23.88 per 1,000 residents (a 1-in-43 chance of victimization), describing it as considerably higher than the national average across all US communities, though not among the very highest; its violent-crime rate of 5.21 per 1,000 (474.3 per 100,000) is characterized as 25% above the national average. CrimeGrade gives Newnan a D grade for violent crime (18th percentile -- safer than only 18% of US cities) but a milder B- for property crime (both retrieved 2026-08-22). Per site policy, no specific neighborhood is named as unsafe here -- check current, address-specific data directly.
