Augusta University Clinic Celebrates 20 Years of Rural Women’s Health Services
Augusta University's Costa Layman Women’s Clinic is marking its 20th anniversary of providing vital health services, including Pap and breast exams, to rural women in South Carolina, helping to bridge the gap in healthcare access.
Augusta Aiken, GA, November 6, 2026 —
Augusta University’s Costa Layman Women’s Clinic is observing a significant milestone: its 20th anniversary. For two decades, the clinic has been dedicated to delivering essential health services to women in rural areas of South Carolina.
The clinic’s primary focus includes providing crucial screenings such as Pap tests and breast exams. These services are vital for early detection and prevention of serious health issues, contributing to better health outcomes for the women it serves.
Established with the goal of addressing disparities in healthcare access, the Costa Layman Women’s Clinic plays a critical role in reaching underserved populations. Many women in rural communities face challenges in accessing regular medical care due to factors such as distance, transportation, and financial limitations. The clinic aims to mitigate these barriers by offering accessible health services directly within these communities.
By consistently providing these preventative health screenings over the past 20 years, the clinic has worked to bridge the healthcare gap that often exists between urban and rural areas. The sustained operation and commitment of the clinic underscore its importance in the landscape of women’s health support in the region. The specific details regarding the founding date beyond the 20-year mark, or any specific individuals associated with the clinic’s operations or anniversary events, were not provided.
