CEO Letter
Happy New Year!
2019 is here and it is going to be an exciting year. Anna Shaw
Children’s Institute will open in the spring. The opening of Peeples
Cancer Institute will follow. Hamilton Physician Group will continue
to expand access to primary care and specialty care across our
region. Most importantly, Hamilton Health Care System as a whole
will continue to provide the best, most compassionate, and most
comprehensive health care in our area.
As you will read in this magazine, Anna Shaw Children’s Institute will
be a unique outpatient center that will provide comprehensive care
for children with developmental delays—all under one roof.
Peeples Cancer Institute will be a freestanding, four-story cancer
institute that will house a medical oncology practice, as well as
radiation oncology, outpatient infusion, and breast and diagnostic
imaging services.
Hamilton Physician Group, also known as HPG, now has physician
practices in Dalton, Calhoun, Chatsworth, Ringgold, and Varnell.
This year, Hamilton Physician Group will further expand access to
specialists at our campus locations.
Thank you for allowing Hamilton Health Care System to serve you
and your family. We hope you have a wonderful new year.
Best Regards,
The magazine of Hamilton Health Care System
