Wellstar Health System recently closed the 460-bed Atlanta Medical Center.

ATLANTA — Wellstar Health System officials came under fire Monday for committing to invest nearly $800 million late last year in a planned partnership with Augusta University Health System after closing two Atlanta-area hospitals.

Wellstar and AUHS signed off on a 40-year partnership in December that included, among other things, capital for a new hospital, medical office building and ambulatory surgery center in suburban Columbia County.
