Laurens County has regional stronghold in human health services, agricultural advancement, and industrial workforce.

Almost 20% of the local workforce is part of the Health Care and Social Services Industry equating to nearly 10,000 qualified health care professionals – not including the number of students hitting maximum program capacity at Heart of Georgia Technical College. Combine this with an economy based on specialty technological manufacturing, and one can attribute an additional 5,000 qualified individuals available to serve medical manufacturers, testing services, and R&D in Laurens County alone!

The Carl Vinson V.A. Medical Center provides federal institutional research presence in the fields of ambulatory care, pharmacy, cardiopulmonary, optometry, mental health, radiology, nuclear medicine and podiatry.

For private ventures, local financial institutions and a venture capital firm support the Life Sciences industry. In addition, Georgia 's Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP) is an economic development program of the University System of Georgia (USG) that brings together the intellectual resources of the state’s public colleges and universities, including four research universities, with the business community. Members of the ICAPP staff and economic development leaders and representatives from each campus, including two institutions in Dublin, provide access to college-educated employees, the latest research, feedback and direction to business and operations.

Needless to say, Laurens County has the people and viability to serve a variety of health and medical service and manufacturing industries.
