Archbold welcomes oncologists

Staff report CNHI

THOMASVILLE — Cancer is the second-leading cause of death among all diseases, both nationally and in Georgia.

It’s estimated that more than 48,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Georgia this year, 1,952 of which are predicted for Archbold’s four-county service region — Brooks County, Grady County, Mitchell County and Thomas County.

In 2011, Archbold’s Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology Center treated 2,805 unique patients and administered 43,953 medical and radiation oncology treatments.

Cancer has touched most in some way.

Those familiar with the fight against cancer understand the importance of having skilled, compassionate physicians.

Archbold Memorial Hospital recently welcomed four new medical oncologists to the hospital’s medical staff — Teresa Coleman, MD; Amanda May, MD; Penny Heinrich, MD, and Taren Ohman, MD.

The new physicians join medical oncologist Brian Gaupp, MD, and radiation oncologists Steven Johnson, MD, and David Saunders, MD, at the Singletary Oncology Center.
