Cancer Center Features Beautiful Views and Alternative Treatments

WEST POINT, Ga. – Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) recently held a grand opening for the Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Newnan, Ga. The facility was designed by PSA-Dewberry of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a joint venture by Okland/Batson-Cook Construction serving as the general contractor. Construction work on the state-of-the-art medical facility progressed quickly, moving from preconstruction to grand opening in only 55 weeks.

The 226,000-square-foot building includes radiation and infusion therapy, surgical suites and 25 inpatient rooms. PSA-Dewberry designed the facility to allow specialized treatments for 15 different forms of cancer. The structure represents the fifth CTCA facility in the region and is focused on treating particularly difficult cases involving advanced-stage or complex cancer. In addition to clinical treatments and technology, the cancer center will feature a wide array of supportive therapies including pain management, nutrition therapy, spiritual support, oncology rehabilitation, and alternative medical treatment options.

In addition to offering alternative medical options like mind-medicine and naturopathic medicine, with potential to expand into CBD wholesale products and other medical marijuana items in the future, the CTCA posts its survival rates and treatment results on its website. In terms of those looking towards marijuana for helping them to deal with their health concerns, growing marijuana seeds for themselves could yield the product that they’re hoping can assist them through the trying, medical times in their lives. In recent years, marijuana is becoming more and more popular when it comes to various illnesses, not just cancer, and although most states are happy with this new treatment, not every state is on board. This is quite the opposite to many places in Europe where CBD is legal for personal use, and countries like the Netherlands have great ‘CBD olie kopen‘, or CBD sales. Those who perhaps live in a state where medical marijuana isn’t at the forefront of medicinal advancements can still have the opportunity of using medical marijuana to help them. All they need to do is seek a second opinion from another medical professional. That can be done by asking around, or alternatively, Click here to find some suitable doctors.

Steve Bonner, president and CEO of CTCA, explained that decision in a statement, saying, “Our vision is to work with hospitals across the country to share outcomes collectively so we can learn from one another and improve quality for patients, and most of all to empower oncology patients to find their best treatment option. Open markets and the free flow of information are indispensable to our pursuit of a higher quality-lower cost health care industry in the U.S.”

Dr. George Daneker, chief of staff, chief of surgery and surgical oncologist of CTCA, was more than excited about his new office.

Daneker told the Times-Herald, “We understand the urgency of bringing more options, more powerful and innovative therapies – and more hope – to patients and their families. We are a team focused on bringing cancer treatment back to the needs of patients.”

A residential tower was included in the project to offer accommodations for outpatients and family members of inpatients. The tower was located near physical therapy suites, dining facilities and the chapel to create a holistic experience for those staying overnight on the premises. The entrance to the campus is particularly breathtaking, as it features a fountain and a swan pond.

Chuck Williams, construction superintendent for Okland/Batson-Cook, said there was a particular sense of satisfaction upon completion of a medical facility.

“Knowing that we’ve built something that is going to save lives is an unbelievable and quite unique feeling,” he said. “You don’t get to do that on every project.”

The new building will provide 500 new jobs to the local area, without even including the temporary jobs created during the construction process itself. Georgia government officials estimate the project will bring $500 million in economic activity to the area over the first five years of operation and former Governor Sonny Perdue, who was in office during the earlier phases of the project, named it to his list of top 10 economic development projects in the state.
