Originally operating as Belle Terrace Health & Wellness Centers, MAP welcomed its first patient in 1999. Since then, the organization has grown significantly. Renamed Medical Associates Plus in 2016, MAP expanded to include multiple clinic locations and a mobile health unit.

Today, MAP serves more than 50,000 patients annually across over 25 locations, delivering high-quality primary care to individuals and families throughout Greater Augusta and surrounding communities.
