“Rural communities often lack easy access to larger medical centers. Having surgical and colonoscopy services locally means residents can receive necessary care without traveling long distances, which can be particularly challenging for elderly or sick individuals. I’m here most Monday’s and Thursdays to meet the community needs of Macon and surrounding counties.”

Thomas Taylor, MD, General Surgeon 

“Colonoscopies are vital for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. By offering colonoscopy services locally, rural hospitals can facilitate early detection and intervention, improving patient outcomes.”

– Hanna Ilia, MD, Family Medicine

“Providing comprehensive medical services enhances the overall health and well-being of the community, and having local access to surgery and colonoscopy can encourage individuals to seek preventive care and address health issues before they become serious.”

– Sandra Gammons, Director of Surgical Services
