Vim & Vigor - Summer 2014 - Gwinnett Medical Center - (Page 2)

Phil's Feature Healthy Relationships Through giving and teaching, individuals are helping improve health care A lthough modern medicine has evolved to feature some pretty incredible technologies, one of the most effective approaches in health care can come simply from honest communication with a trusted doctor. A trusted doctor with whom you have a relationship can help you make some of the very best decisions for your health. It's this sort of open, ongoing dialogue that we offer patients at our new Strickland Family Medicine Center. It was appreciation of and hope for this type of personalized health care that led two very generous donors, Clyde and Sandra Strickland, to take action. They recently gave us one of the largest donations designated for family medicine, and this new facility is named in their honor. The Strickland Family Medicine Center offers care for all ages, from newborns to the elderly, including maternity care. Though this center is obviously a huge benefit for our community, it also serves as the primary clinical teaching site for the new Family Medicine Residency Program. Beginning this summer, the program provides educational opportunities for residents, medical students and other allied health professional students. Graduate medical education faculty will work alongside the residents at the Strickland Family Medicine Center to provide exceptional patient care. On a broader scale, we are hopeful that this new teaching facility and residency program will attract some of the brightest talent in medicine to our community, helping to fill the troublesome shortage of primary care physicians in Georgia. Ultimately, it's all about good health. I am humbled and honored by the individual acts, including the Stricklands' generosity, that have made it easier for the people who matter the most-you-to receive the health care you want and need.
