The public will get its chance next week to weigh in on the pending merger between Wellstar Health System and Augusta University's hospitals. The Georgia Attorney General's office will hold a public hearing at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Lee Auditorium, 1459 Laney Walker Blvd. in Augusta. Georgia law requires a hearing to ensure the public's interest is protected in such deals involving nonprofit hospitals. In late March, the Georgia Board of Regents agreed to let Marietta-based Wellstar take over management and funding of the Augusta University Health System, which includes the flagship Augusta University Medical Center.
