HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE
IMPROVE LIVES?
Providing quality, comprehensive medical
care to residents in Central Georgia is more
than just treating acute illnesses. We man-
age chronic health conditions and screen
for specific diseases such as breast cancer,
colon cancer, diabetes and others. We work
with our patients to find the best treatment
plan for them that is both effective and cost
conscious.
WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU FACE,
AND HOW DO YOU OVERCOME THEM?
The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge chal-
lenge for us, as many of our elderly patients
were too scared to come into the office. We
started using telehealth for appointments,
and we were able to continue seeing and
treating patients while maintaining their
safety. Also, we have added rapid COVID-19
testing in the office that provides results
in under 20 minutes. This allows for faster
recognition of the COVID-19 virus.
HOW CAN OUR COMMUNITY LIVE
HEALTHIER LIVES?
We need more community resources aimed
at healthy living, and these resources need
to be easily accessible and affordable.
So many people in our community don't
understand how to eat healthy, don't have
access to healthy meal options and don't
have access to physical exercise.
