NORTHAMERICANEWS / JUNE 2017 19 The Highest Quality of Patient Care Available Company: Cowles Clinic Name: Dr. Robert Cowles, III Email: [email protected] Web Address: cowlesclinic.com Address: 1000 Cowles Clinic Way Aspen Cottage, Suite A-400 Greensboro, GA 30642 Telephone: +1 (706) 454-0111 g “This is done by recruiting and retaining physicians with superior credentials. Offering the highest quality of care makes the clinic a magnet, not only for the local area, but also as a national and international referral centre. Proof of this is found in the zip code list of over eight hundred addresses of patients using the clinic. “Education is another key to our success. We offer CME to physicians and staff at the Cowles Auditorium. This eighty-eight- seat facility provides regularly scheduled programmes presented to the community to improve their understanding of healthcare. Many awareness groups such as the American Cancer Society, Prostate and Breast cancer awareness, diabetes, weight loss, nutrition and fitness are just a few examples of people meeting in the auditorium. “The Cowles Clinic Foundation serves as a not-for-profit vehicle to financially support healthcare needs in the community. It also supports the health fair and barbecue cook off which is enjoyed by over six thousand people annually. While not only tasting some of the best food in the south, they meet all the practices at the clinic and can view everything from above while riding in the Life Flight helicopter.” By constantly striving to improve the health of the community, the clinic has been featured in many magazines, newspapers and on television. It has been honoured as Business of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce and Dr. Cowles was named Businessman of the year. All of this demonstrates the need and value of the clinic. Dr. Cowles offers thoughts by telling us more about the largest medical complex in the Lake Oconee Area. “The Cowles Clinic with its centres of excellence is the largest medical complex in the Lake Oconee Area. The 13-acre 8 building medical campus is located on Linger Longer Road a short distance from the entrance to Reynolds Plantation and the Ritz Carlton at Lake Oconee and a few miles from the Cuscowilla Resort. The campus address, 1000 Cowles Clinic Way, is the geographic centre for healthcare for Greene, Putnam and Morgan Counties and its ground breaking work. “The Cowles Clinic is home for over 60 physicians in 36 specialties, the state licensed Cowles Clinic Laboratory, the Georgia Center for Total Cancer Care. The Executive Health Programme includes a comprehensive physical by a team of specialists and includes the latest breakthrough in genetic testing. Finally, to provide the best treatments with greater patient access, urologist, Dr. Bob Cowles is now performing Permanent Prostate Seed Implants and High Dose Rate (HDR) prostate implants on site at Georgia Center for Total Cancer Care at Cowles Clinic. These therapies are two of the most effective radiation treatments used in the U. S. for prostate cancer. He concludes the interview by revealing more about this aspect of the firm’s innovation in his own choice words. “Permanent Prostate Seed Implants and High Dose Rate (HDR) procedures were formerly only available in the hospital setting on an inpatient basis. The highest quality of care is delivered in a comfortable, safe environment that is close to home or comfortable accommodations. No hospital admission is required resulting in a more cost effective medical treatment with less stress on patients and their caregivers.”
