There’s growing scientific literature documenting the relationships between health and nutrition, exercise, mental attitude, relaxation, and other lifestyle habits.

For a lifestyle that involves these relationships, call and enroll in a program under the supervision of a physician that will enable you to reach and maintain your ideal body weight, exercise your cardiovascular system and help prevent such diseases as diabetes, heart attack, strokes, hypertension, and cancer.

Coweta Medical Center offers a quality weight-reduction program that is supervised by F. Donald Bass, M.D. For more detailed information or an appointment,

please call Coweta Medical Center at (770) 251-5597.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America would like to recognize and thank the growing number of supporters – from the City of Newnan, Coweta County, State of Georgia and beyond – who continue to help us pave the way for a new comprehensive cancer hospital that will serve patients throughout the Southeast.

Winning the fight against cancer, every day.

Conquering cancer.

It’s What We Do Best

When diagnosed with cancer, a lot of concerns rush through your mind. Making sure you’re receiving the best care available shouldn’t be one of them.

At the Roy Richards, Sr. Cancer Center, we have the perfect blend of technology and personal attention. From the latest and most advanced radiation therapy delivery system available to our Nurse Navigator program that specializes in one-on-one counseling, we bring the best of both worlds to our patients.

And as part of Tanner Health System and located in Carrollton, our regionally recognized cancer treatment program is right in your neighborhood . So you don’t have to go anywhere else for the most advanced treatments available, with the TLC that can only come from people who know you on a personal level.

So relax. The tools and expertise to conquer cancer are closer than you think.

Savannah Court of Newnan Assisted Living and Memory Care

When I first walked into Savannah Court, I felt the genuine warmth of the staff as they cared for the residents. I liked the smallness of the facility as it gave me a feeling of walking into a home. The front porch, where some were rocking and swinging in the large swings, was so inviting and reminded me so much of my childhood days of sitting on the porch. I have found the staff to be so very helpful and so very willing to try to please, and their care and concern for each resident is very evident. I can honestly say that our experience at Savannah Court has been as close to personal care at home as I could ever ask, and I have felt very comfortable in knowing that my husband’s needs are being met by caring, loving people in every area of this facility. And while they care for him, they also minister to me during my time there far more than I could ever expect.
