THE MISSION OF MY BUSINESS: To
deliver the highest quality care to our surgical
patients.
HOW I DEFINE SUCCESS: I believe
success is an attitude. It is knowing that you
made every effort to do your very best. I
know that OrthoGeorgia Surgery Center is
successful because the staff who work here
are the finest you will find anywhere.
THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY
JOB: Knowing that I have done my best
for the patients, the surgeons and the staff
who work here. OrthoGeorgia's community
contribution to Daybreak, United Way and
the backpack ministry.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT: My
experience in orthopaedics started in the
operating room at Navicent Health in 1981. I
joined OrthoGeorgia in 2004 as the director
of the Surgery Center, which opened in 1999.
Last year, we did 6,445 outpatient cases.
We started doing Total Joint Replacements
in our facility on an outpatient basis about
a year and half ago. These cases are Total
Knee and Total Hips. We also do partial Total
Knees with the Mako Robot. We were the first
Ambulatory Surgery Center to use the Mako
Robot in Georgia. Our total joint patients are
going home the same day as their procedure.
These patients are generally discharged
from the facility about two hours after their
procedure is finished.
I AM EXCITED ABOU T: The recent
expansion of Mercer University including the
OrthoGeorgia baseball field, as well as the
positive growth in downtown Macon.
HOW WOMEN COULD BETTER
SUPPORT EACH OTHER: Talk to each
other. Be excited for each other's success.
