Dr. Brian DeLoach has been the Medical Director at Georgia Southern University Health Services since
2008 and continues to receive excellent comments on patient satisfaction surveys regarding the clinical
care provided to our students. He continues to strive towards providing excellent care and service to our
students and the university in numerous ways.
In 2012 he led efforts resulting in successful accreditation by AAAHC and recognition by AAAHC as a
Patient Centered Medical Home, and continues to oversee clinical operations on a daily basis to
maintain those certifications. This is similar to Joint Commission (JCAHO) who accredits most hospitals.
This was a daunting task and one that very few health centers in the country have achieved. Georgia
Tech and UGA are the only other accredited heath centers in the USG system. He led the development
of the current Pandemic Flu and Emergency Infectious Disease Plan and was an integral university leader
and community liaison during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic health issue. In the last few years, he
successfully converted the clinic to an electronic health record and implemented an appointment selfscheduling process for our students.
