A Message from the

Representing our families in Georgia’s House of Representatives for eight years was an honor I never will be able to describe. I truly am humbled that you have chosen me to serve as the 31st mayor of the city of Woodstock. During my time as a representative, we built an accessible, transparent elected office with weekly coffees, more disclosure than ever before and a new standard for campaign finance and ethics reform. I am dedicated to leading our city as mayor with the same high standards of accountability and excellence in government that our community has led with at the state level for years.

Our city consistently is named one of the best places in America to live. Just this past year, both Money magazine and Homes.com recognized Woodstock in the top tier of places to move to and raise a family. We have benefited from great leadership, tremendous cityplanning, and the effects of a government that allows entrepreneurs and citizens the freedom to build. The result has been a genuine sense of community.

While our nation and our world feel increasingly divided, Woodstock has become a place where I trust a passerby on the street will pick my son up when he scrapes his knee. It’s not that we’re small. We’re now among the top 30 largest cities in the state. We left the days of “middle of nowhere” some time ago, in favor of a thriving arts scene, great local restaurants and bars and a genuine sense of place. We’re a destination, but we still don’t believe in strangers.

Our challenge moving forward is to build on these gains. We have built a place worth having, and our burden will be ensuring it’s a place our children will want to inherit.

Today, we endeavor to lean in together. We’ll build a more connected city by focusing on trails and grid streets. We’ll build a forward-looking city by ensuring our home-ownership rates remain high and our plans for the future are transparent and readily available. We’ll build an accountable city by maintaining some of the lowest taxes in Georgia, and ensuring our staff and elected leaders are accessible to all of our citizens.

We have great work ahead. It’s a call worth heeding. Woodstock calls itself “a city unexpected.” Let’s make sure we’re ready for whatever the next chapter in this surprising city holds, and let’s leave our children a city worth having.

If I can ever be of help to you, please don’t hesitate to call me on my personal cellphone, 678-523-8570, or email me at mcaldwell@ woodstockga.gov.

Go make it an outstanding day!

Mayor Michael Caldwell

NEW YEAR, NEW SERVICES,

NEW LOCATION

Governors MedSpa and Concierge Medicine is relocating in Acworth in 2022, to better serve its patients and growing business. The growth will make possible more services and appointments.

Governors treats the entire family, offering immuneboosting therapies, wellness exams for children and adults, sports physicals, and vaccines for everyone. Same-day sick appointments are available for established patients, inhouse or via telemedicine. Telemed visits are offered with all concierge plans and provide flexibility for patients.

Other perks and discounts are offered with the Governors and Senators cash-pay concierge plans. The practice also provides primary care services for patients with insurance. Governors accepts all PPO insurances in Georgia.

InstaLift threads. Unlike PDO threads, InstaLift threads have Sculptra crystals on each thread that stimulate natural collagen, so patients will get an instant lift in their upper cheeks, nasolabial folds and/or jowls and upper neck, and a collagen filling in that area for a natural result that lasts up to two to three years.

Plasma pen. This FDA-approved plasma device uses low frequency wavelength and is highly effective at tightening and skin lifting.

TCA peel for face and body allows patients to see results immediately. The treatment penetrates into the deep dermal layer of skin, so it doesn’t sit on the surface, which can cause redness, scaling and downtime.

Tetra CO2 CoolPeel is highly effective in reducing sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, and it helps patients have an even skin tone, with improved texture. With one laser, patients get the benefits of a IPL treatment and a TCA peel.

VI peel removes texture issues, while simultaneously stimulating collagen, brightening the skin and reducing small lines and pigment.

VirtueRF is able to remove unwanted fat pads directly under the eyes and other smaller areas of the body.

Permanent fat reduction.

CoolSculpting is a targeted therapy that provides zero downtime, while Vanquish ME is a touchless technology and allows reduction of inches in less than 90 days for abdomen, flanks and thighs.

Kysse allows patients to be confident, while puckering up this year. Designed with the latest XpresHAn technology, Galderma created a Restylane product that, according to the doctors, moves and bends naturally, and is soft enough to be kissed, in addition to making lips more pink.

Generations of grandmothers, moms and babies have trusted Cherokee Women’s for the past 27 years – and continue to return for expert care. With eight physicians, four midwives and a physician assistant who work in the Canton and Woodstock offices, thousands upon thousands of healthy babies have been safely delivered.

These success stories are best told by the women and families who experienced firsthand how Cherokee Women’s Health makes a difference in so many lives.

Sarah

A High-Risk Pregnancy

Sarah was diagnosed as having a high-risk pregnancy, so her doctor at Cherokee Women’s Health advised her to receive frequent scans. At 16 weeks into her pregnancy, a scan identified a placental abnormality called circumvallate placenta, which can increase the risk of complications such as preterm delivery, placental abruption, or even infant death. To monitor her more closely, her appointments were increased to two times per week.

Bradycardia (Slow Heart Rate) During one of those appointments, Dr. James Haley became concerned when he noticed a dip in her baby’s heart rate. Immediately, he instructed Sarah to go to the hospital. The baby’s heart rate continued to be low, which can result in serious medical conditions for the baby, even resulting in stillbirth in some cases. Dr. Peahen Gandhi, who was on hospital shift that day, continued to monitor her, but ultimately made the decision to do a C-section to ensure the safest outcome.

A Preemie is Born! After being born at just 2 pounds, 11 ounces, baby Alfie remained in the NICU for four weeks, until he was healthy enough to go home.
