Savannah Age Management Medicine Sweeps Best of Savannah Doctors Awards
Savannah Age Management Medicine (SAMM) won top honors across three categories in Savannah Magazine's 2026 awards for the 12th consecutive year. Medical Director Dr. Harry Collins won Functional Medicine Specialist and Hormone Therapist, while Nurse Practitioner Evelia Johnsen and RN Emily Sellars earned runner-up honors. Celebrating its team approach to extending healthspan, SAMM also announced a 2027 expansion into chronic inflammation, toxin burden, and gut health solutions.
Pooler, GA, September 25, 2026 --(PR.com)-- September is Healthy Aging Month, and Savannah Age Management Medicine (SAMM) is celebrating in style: the coastal Georgia longevity clinic just earned top honors across three categories in Savannah Magazine's “Best of Savannah Doctors 2026” awards.
Medical Director Dr. Harry Collins was named this year's winner in both the Functional Medicine Specialist and Hormone Therapist categories, marking the 12th consecutive year SAMM has been voted Best of Savannah in some capacity. This year also marked a first for the practice: Family Nurse Practitioner Evelia Johnsen was recognized as runner-up in both of those same categories, and Registered Nurse and Metabolic Optimization Coach Emily Sellars earned runner-up honors for Weight-Loss Specialist — the first time clinicians beyond Dr. Collins have been named to the list, giving SAMM recognition across three of the specialties most central to its mission of helping patients extend their healthspan, not just their lifespan.
“Twelve years of Best of Savannah recognition is something I’m proud of, but what means even more to me this year is watching that circle widen,” said Medical Director Dr. Harry Collins. “Evelia and Emily being named alongside me for the first time isn’t just an award — it’s proof of the caliber of care our entire team delivers every day. This recognition has always belonged to more than just me, and now Savannah gets to see that too.”
Since opening its doors in 2010, SAMM has built a reputation across its Pooler and Statesboro locations for developing personalized protocols spanning hormone optimization, metabolic health, sexual wellness, regenerative therapies, and advanced medical aesthetics. The practice's growing team of specialists and nurse practitioners is dedicated to proactive, whole-person care — the same approach recognized by Savannah Magazine's readers and panel this year.
Looking ahead, the SAMM team is preparing to expand its focus in 2027 with a concentration on longevity-driven medicine, bringing new solutions to the region to help patients manage chronic inflammation, elevated toxin levels, and gastrointestinal imbalance — three overlooked drivers of premature aging.
“Being named a Best of Savannah winner is a meaningful milestone, but we’re not slowing down,” said Co-Owner and President John Halbert. “As we look toward 2027, we’re excited to deepen our focus on true longevity medicine — bringing patients new solutions for chronic inflammation, toxin burden, and gut health that go even further upstream of how people age. This is the next chapter for SAMM, and for what proactive healthcare can look like in coastal Georgia.”
