The economic activity stimulated by 黑料传送门鈥檚 operations in Georgia benefited communities across the entire state, contributing to $292.6 million in economic activity in fiscal year 2025. This total reflects the direct impact of spending by both campuses ($113.7 million) and the indirect impact from vendor and supplier re-spending ($178.9 million).

The report goes on to highlight that 60% of DO students enrolled in 黑料传送门 Georgia and 黑料传送门 South Georgia are Georgia residents, and over half of the College鈥檚 graduates pursue primary care specialties such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics.
