SGMC held our annual Benefits Fair today, themed Follow the Road to Wellness! Human Resources did a wonderful job putting it together and a special shout out goes to our Wizard of Oz characters: Michael Spence, Chuck Marshburn, Jeremy Foster, Maribrook Cain, JoAnne McGehee, and Lindsey Broome! Thanks for getting everyone in the spirit!

Congrats Michaela and thank you for your most excellent patient care! "When I thought I was going to give up on fighting my cancer Michaela came to see me in the hospital and sat at my bedside. She held my hand and reminded me that I was a fighter. She tells me that I have inspired her and helped patients find joy but this nurse has helped me when I have been at my weakest.” She continued to commend her attention to detail, knowledge and willingness to go out of her way to make patients comfortable and lift their spirits.

Congratulations to our Stroke and Resuscitation teams for being recognized by U.S. News and World Report in their Best Hospitals edition! "We know how valuable guideline-driven care is to our patients," said Laura Love, Spokesperson/Director of Community Relations. "Everyone at our hospital is proud to be recognized for our efforts and appreciative of the support and tools provided through Get With The Guidelines."

It started with a small group of volunteers, and 30 years later, Hospice of South Georgia has grown into one of the largest providers of end-of-life care services within the region.
