AdventHealth Georgia

We are really excited to be hosting our annual service standards awards town hall meetings today at AdventHealth Murray. The theme, Propelled With Purpose, reminds us why we do what we do, and the important role that each one of our team members plays in extending the healing ministry of Christ, not only within our hospital and outpatient sites, but throughout the community. Congratulations to each one of our service standard award winners! We'll share the video soon!

AdventHealth Gordon EMS won several awards at the recent annual Region 1 EMS banquet held in Dalton, Georgia. “I am proud of the AdventHealth Gordon EMS team and the work they do throughout Gordon County, said Isaac Sendros, president and CEO of AdventHealth Georgia. “They serve on the front lines and often meet people in their most vulnerable time of need. Their service to our community is invaluable.” Justin Hazlewood and Justin Evans from AdventHealth Gordon were awarded the Medical Call of the Year. For this award, judges gauge crew performance on the call, the acuity and severity of the call, the patient outcome, special circumstances related to the call, scene and transport time, appropriateness of transport destination, and more. Chip Seagle from AdventHealth Gordon EMS won the Paramedic of the Year. Besides fulfilling his regular job duties, Seagle is involved in the community by providing well person checks at the Senior Center, working with the annual EMS toy drive, doing show and tell events at local elementary schools, he’s an EMS bike team leader, he does career fairs for local high schools, and he coordinates events with the mascot, Mac the Medic. The AdventHealth Gordon EMS team was awarded the Region 1 EMS Service of the Year based on their performance throughout the year. The criterion for this award is how involved the service is in their community, performance on annual inspections, interactions with local public safety, number of complaints, and more. “It is an honor for our team to be recognized for our service,” said Mark Bramblett, director of AdventHealth Gordon EMS. “But it’s an even bigger honor for us to be able to care for our community. These are our friends, neighbors and family. Our work is personal, and we are committed to providing the best possible care for Gordon County.” Courtney Taylor, Gordon County's director of emergency management, led the team and their families in prayer following the event.

Last week, Mayur Mody, MD, from AdventHealth Medical Group Hematology and Oncology, had the honor of serving as Doctor of the Day at the Capitol. Pictured left to right are Senator Ed Setzler, Dr. Mody, Lt Governor Burt Jones and Senator Chuck Hufstetler, MD. The Doctor of the Day program is a non-political service of the Medical Association of Georgia (MAG) serving Georgia legislators. Doctor of the Day volunteers work in the Medical Aid Station at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta during the legislative session each year. They provide minor medical care to legislators and their staff at no charge, and they are introduced in the House and Senate at the beginning of each legislative day.

The future of surgery is here and our community is experiencing it firsthand. Today at Robot Day, AdventHealth Gordon is giving the community the chance to see and test drive the Da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system. As the first hospital in Northwest Georgia to introduce this cutting-edge technology, we are proud to bring innovation that enhances precision, reduces recovery time, and improves patient outcomes. People are exploring the future of surgery, engaging with our expert team, and discovering how robotic-assisted procedures are transforming healthcare. This is just the beginning of what is possible. Come experience the future of surgery and test drive the Da Vinci 5 today

It's always a treat each year to welcome the Calhoun Gordon County Chamber Leadership Class to AdventHealth Gordon as part of their health care day. This morning, the group toured several areas in the hospital and learned about some of the services and programs AdventHealth provides to the community. We had a lively and informative discussion on community partnerships with the agencies and nonprofits, how we are working with the local school systems to help guide young people in their career pathways, and how AdventHealth is working to provide some non-traditional opportunities for our communities to receive medical care through exciting partnerships like the upcoming AMEN Clinic in April (stay tuned for more information). We are grateful for these community partners and for their engagement and commitment to AdventHealth and Calhoun Gordon County.

Waking up tired every day does not have to be normal. For years, Weston struggled with sleep apnea and the challenges of using a CPAP. Now, with Inspire therapy, he wakes up feeling truly rested for the first time in years. No more masks, no more hoses, just better sleep and better health. Sleep apnea is about more than snoring. It affects energy, focus, and even long-term heart and lung health. If you are struggling with CPAP or think you might have sleep apnea, it is time to explore your options. Watch Weston’s story and learn how Inspire therapy could change your life. #SleepAwarenessWeek #InspireTherapy #BetterSleepBetterHealth
