CEO Letter
Dear Dear Friends,
Many exciting things are happening at Hamilton. As you may have seen, we
recently began construction on a new medical practice in Ringgold. Hamilton
Physician Group-Catoosa Campus will feature primary/internal medicine and
specialty care services and a Hamilton Convenient Care practice with extended
evening and weekend hours.
Hamilton also recently broke ground on a new state-of-the-art cancer institute
to be named the Peeples Cancer Institute, in honor of local philanthropists
Shelby and Willena Peeples. The new four-story cancer institute will house a
medical oncology practice, as well as radiation oncology, outpatient infusion,
and breast and diagnostic imaging services.
These are just a few of the new and exciting projects that are underway at
Hamilton. Together, we are working toward one goal – your complete health.
Best Regards,
Jeffrey D. Myers
President and CEO
