“We do everything we can to help cancer patients live, and live with a quality of life, through a model of care that focuses on the needs of each
patient – mind, body and spirit,” said Rev. Chip Gordon, director of pastoral care at Southeastern. “These words bless the hospital, the patients and families who come here for care, and
those who serve them.”

will feature 25 private inpatient treatment rooms, surgical suites, specialized treatment suites for endoscopy and bronchoscopy, state-of-the-art radiation and infusion therapy departments,
rehabilitation and physical therapy department, concierge services, a dining room, chapel, onsite accommodations for outpatients and their families, and more. The hospital will also
feature Varian TrueBeam™ technology, TomoTherapy® HD, digital imaging and
interventional angiography.
The Newnan hosptial will provide the same individualized, whole-
