TABLE OF CONTENTS
TIFT REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM
Located in Tifton, Tift Regional Medical Center (TRMC) is a 181-bed, not-for-profit referral center that serves as the flagship for Tift Regional Health System. TRMC offers signature services in surgery, oncology, cardiovascular care, women’s health, neurology, medical imaging, and more.
The TRMC West Campus is an outpatient center housing physician clinics and diagnostic services. Cook Medical Center in Adel offers a 60-bed acute care facility, including a 12-bed geriatric psychiatric unit, as well as a 95-bed nursing home. Tift Regional Physician Group includes hospital-owned outpatient clinics located throughout south central Georgia.
Tift Regional Health System is under the direction of the Hospital Authority of Tift County and provides for the community’s charitable care without a financial subsidy from county government.
In 2016, Tift Regional Health System celebrates 75 years of providing quality care and compassion. The 35-bed Tift County Hospital, located in Tifton at the corner of 12th Street and Tift Avenue, was formally dedicated on February 7, 1941. This building is now the Pickett Building, home of the Tift County Health Department.
In 1962, the Tift County Hospital Authority was created to assume the responsibilities of the hospital board. By 1965, the county had outgrown Tift County Hospital and the Hospital Authority members sought to develop a new medical facility on 20 acres of land on East 18th Street in Tifton. Tift General Hospital, the only facility in the county named for Captain H.H. Tift, opened with 85 beds on November 1, 1965, with a medical staff of 14 doctors.
From there, Tift General Hospital rapidly grew to meet the growing needs of Tift and 11 surrounding counties, recruiting a wide range of physicians and undergoing several expansions, renovations, and additions over the years. In 2000, the Tift County Hospital Authority approved to change the name of the 181-bed Tift General Hospital to Tift Regional Medical Center (TRMC), to officially take effect in January 2001.
Today, there is Tift Regional Health System, consisting of TRMC and the TRMC West Campus in Tifton, Cook Medical Center in Adel, and Tift Regional Physician Group with clinics located throughout south central Georgia. We offer 165 physicians and 100 midlevel providers representing more than 30 specialties. We are also a founding partner of Stratus Healthcare, a clinically integrated network of hospitals, physicians, and other providers from around the state.
The success and growth of our healthcare institution can be attributed to the skill and benevolence of our people, who carry a proud heritage of serving the community. We remain committed to providing you and your loved ones with exceptional medical services. Thanks for allowing us to be your hospital system, your neighbor, and your partner in health care.

3LEADERSHIP
HighlightsTRHS WELCOMES 15 NEW PHYSICIANS To meet the growing healthcare needs of the community, TRHS welcomed 15 new physicians to its medical staff in 2015. Specialties include anesthesiology, family medicine, gastroenterology, general surgery, hospital medicine, infectious diseases, neurology, pediatrics, podiatry,
psychiatry, and radiation oncology. In addition, TRHS opened a new practice in September called Affinity
Physicians for Women with obstetrician/gynecologist Shannon Price, MD. For more information about Tift Regional’s new and established doctors, please see the Physician Listing section or visit www.tiftregional.com and click on “Find a Physician.”
NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH GEORGIA SPORTS MEDICINE TRHS has acquired Georgia Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Clinic in Tifton, as well as its ambulatory surgery center, and now employs the practice’s orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic spine specialist, non-physician providers, and office staff. The physicians at Georgia Sports Medicine include James Scott, MD, Bill Smith, MD, Edward Hellman, MD, and David Banks, MD. TRHS is currently recruiting an additional orthopedist to join the group. The practice’s ambulatory surgery center, formerly known as Tiftarea Surgical Partners, LLC, is now called the Tift Regional Outpatient Surgery Center. For more information, visit www.TRMCortho.com or call (229) 386-5222.
NEW WOUND CARE & HYPERBARIC CLINIC NOW OPEN The new Tift Regional Wound Care & Hyperbaric Clinic provides comprehensive treatment for non-healing wounds. Patients can be referred by a healthcare provider, but self-referred patients are also accepted. The Tift Regional Wound Care & Hyperbaric Clinic is located at Tifton Physicians Center, 907 E. 18th Street, Suite 140, Tifton. For more information, visit www.tiftregional.com or call (229) 353-HEAL (4325).
NEW CUTTING-EDGE PULMONARY MEDICINE PROCEDURES TRMC and the pulmonologists with Affinity Clinic offer two new state-of-the-art tools to help patients with respiratory disease issues. The first, bronchial thermoplasty (BT), is a minimally-invasive
bronchoscopic procedure that delivers thermal energy to the airway wall in a precisely controlled manner to reduce excessive airway smooth muscle (ASM). This helps reduce attacks in adult patients with severe asthma and is shown to improve asthma-related quality of life for people living with the disease. TRMC also has the new Veran SPiNView Thoracic Navigation System, an electromagnetic navigation platform that allows Affinity Clinic pulmonologists to biopsy solitary pulmonary nodules for the potential early diagnosis of lung cancer. This is the only navigation system that provides visualization, accurate navigation and real-time confirmation of nodule location. For more information about these procedures and our pulmonologists, visit www.tiftregional.com or call (229) 353-7526.
LINX SYSTEM PROVIDES RELIEF FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM ACID REFLUX General and bariatric surgeon Christopher Smith, MD, is performing a new procedure at TRMC to reduce the effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as heartburn or acid reflux. The new LINX system offered by Dr. Smith at TRMC is a small, flexible band of magnets enclosed in titanium beads and connected by titanium wires. Dr. Smith implants the LINX System around the weak esophageal sphincter, just above the stomach. The magnetic attraction between the beads keeps the weak esophageal sphincter closed to help prevent reflux. Swallowing forces the beads to separate temporarily to allow food and liquid to pass into the stomach. Dr. Smith performs evaluations at Affinity Clinic in Tifton. For more information about the LINX procedure at TRMC, visit www.tiftregional.com or call (229) 353-2263.
HEART AND VASCULAR CENTER OFFERS NEW RADIAL LOUNGE The TRMC Heart and Vascular Center recently opened a new lounge that allows cardiac catheterization outpatients to recover in a more comfortable and attractive environment, minimizing the feeling of “hospitalization” and avoiding the need to access a hospital bed. Radial access is a cardiac catheterization technique in which the cardiologist inserts the catheter through the wrist. Visit www.tiftregional.com to learn more about the Heart and Vascular Center and our cardiologists.
TRMC LEADS THE WAY IN TELEMEDICINE TRMC launched its telemedicine program eight years ago and has had more than 900 telemedicine encounters each year. The health system has been hailed as a “front runner” by the Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth (GPT) and was named a GPT “Partner of the Year.” TRMC currently offers telemedicine connections to school-based
4 [229] 382-7120 or 1-800-648-1935
clinics in three counties, as well as the health sciences center at ABAC. TRMC also provides telemedicine connections to pediatric subspecialists (such as pediatric gastroenterology and pediatric endocrinology), psychiatry, stroke management, and more. To learn more, call (229) 353-6520.
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO JOINT REPLACEMENT AND SPINE CARE The Tift Regional Joint Replacement & Spine Care Center offers specialized treatment for patients recovering from total joint replacement and spine surgery. With a comprehensive educational program, this specialized inpatient unit at TRMC is specifically dedicated to helping patients overcome pain and restore mobility. The goal is to involve patients and family members in treatment every step of the way to ensure optimal recovery. Developed in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons, nurses, therapists, and case managers, this unique program focuses on a plan of care tailored to each patient’s needs. To learn more, visit www.TRMCortho.com or call (229) 353-BONE (2663).
CANCER CENTER EXPANSION TRHS has been making progress on its expansion of the Anita Stewart Oncology Center, which provides treatment for area cancer patients. Located in Tifton at 1623 Madison Ave., the center is adding 4,667 square feet of space and renovating 4,204 square feet of space for chemotherapy and hematology services. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2016. A new linear accelerator for radiation therapy will also be added in the coming year. Visit www.tiftregional.com to learn more about the Anita Stewart Oncology Center.
TREATMENT FOR VARICOSE VEINS Radiologist Carl Stalvey, MD, is now offering a non-surgical laser procedure at TRMC to treat varicose veins. If you are one of more than 25 million Americans who suffer from varicose veins, you may benefit from this treatment. The procedure is safe and virtually painless and requires little to no downtime. A provider referral is required. For more information, visit www.tiftregional.com or call the TRMC Radiology Department at (229) 353-6966.
