    Tanner Medical Center -Villa Rica is part of Tanner Health System. The system, which also has a Carrollton hospital, has returned more than $62 million in federal provider relief money, saying the government made an error in calculating the payment to its Georgia hospitals. The “high-impact” funding was supposed to go to hospitals that admitted large numbers of COVID-19 patients, and the Tanner hospitals didn’t meet the threshold.
