Phil’s Feature A Primary Challenge We’re taking action to address a health need in our community Gwinnett MediCAl Center President and Chief executive Officer Philip R.

Stauffer editorial Board Abbey Brown, Quinten Davies, Paige Hutchens, Kelli Massey, Amy Motteram, Keyonda Noel, Beth Okun, Dolores Ware rimary care physicians can be highly instrumental in improving patient results. Georgia, however, ranks 41st in the nation for the number of physicians per 100,000 population, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, meaning we have too few primary care physicians in our community. To address this challenge, Gwinnett Medical Center will offer a residency program for medical students specializing in internal medicine and family medicine beginning in July 2014. A recent study shows that when a person graduates from high school, college and medical school and completes a residency in the same region or state, his or her chances of practicing medicine within 75 miles of where the residency training was completed is more than 70 percent. With this statistic in mind, students attending medical school at the nearby Georgia Campus–Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine or at Georgia Health Sciences University, Emory University, Mercer University or Morehouse School of Medicine could very well remain in the Gwinnett community. When they do, it means you have a greater number of physicians from which to choose and GMC can further support the robust healthcare community in Gwinnett and across the state. A dedication to excellence in family medicine and meeting the diverse healthcare needs of our county guided us to pursue this residency program. As we move forward, we will emphasize the value of patients of all ages and their families and caring for our community, one person at a time.
