Chamber releases new Healthcare Annual Report

After months of work by the Chamber’s Healthcare Communications Committee, the Chamber’s 2015 Healthcare Annual Report was officially launched Monday night at a reception held at Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Newnan. Above, Cathy Wright of the University of West Georgia Newnan Center and Mary Ann Bell of Coweta-Fayette EMC look over a copy of the report.

Above are Chamber President and CEO Candace Boothby and COO of CTCA at Southeastern Regional Medical Center David Kent. Kent welcomed everyone to CTCA, and other local healthcare officials speaking at the event were Mike Robertson, CEO of Piedmont Newnan Hospital; Ilona Wozniak, CEO of HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital; and Lisa Davies, Administrator at Ansley Park Health and Rehabilitation.

Boothby noted that in the Chamber’s “Prosperity’s Front Door” branding campaign, Healthcare is one of the six pillars, with the other five including Education, Business, Shopping, Housing and Quality of Life. Since Coweta is fortunate to have a growing reputation as a healthcare destination, community leaders thought it wise to capitalize on the county’s excellent healthcare facilities by promoting them in an annual report. A digital edition of the report first appeared last year, and a number of newly updated print copies were available at the reception on Monday. 

Community leaders were encouraged to share the new report with their constituencies, and a digital edition will soon be available for all Chamber members to share and use as we promote Coweta County as a center of healthcare excellence!
