MILLEDGEVILLE — As a lifelong resident of Baldwin County, I have often heard disparaging remarks about our local hospital. Indeed, there have been times in the past when I myself have said that I would not go there as a patient.

Things have changed. In the past 15 years, the hospital administration and board of directors have implemented changes and improvements that have resulted in a 180-degree turnaround in the quality of care provided by ORMC.

This has been achieved by not only improving the physical plant and adding services such as the Cancer Treatment Center, Wound Healing Center and Sleep Center, but most importantly, recruiting and retaining experienced nursing staff and recruiting top-notch physicians, surgeons and specialists in to our medical community.

For example, in surgery, the arena in which I work, we have world class surgeons in most specialties including OB/GYN, general surgery, urology, ENT/plastic surgery, and orthopedic and ophthalmology specialties. The anesthesia department, with its experienced practitioners and highly sophisticated technology, provides what is in my opinion, the most advanced and safest anesthesia delivery in the state.

The operating room and post-anesthesia care nurses are some of the best I have ever worked with and have an average of 20 years experience. This is one example of why I not only would, but do, encourage my family and friends to use ORMC as their health care provider.

It is time that the people of Baldwin and surrounding counties realize what a valuable asset we have available to us. We can now get top quality, comprehensive health care right here, without having to go to larger hospitals elsewhere.

I have worked, trained and taught at institutions large and small, from Knoxville to Jacksonville and Birmingham to Augusta, and I have seen none better than what we have here. The clinical expertise and dedication to the profession of the doctors, nurses and ancillary personnel at ORMC are unsurpassed by any others anywhere.

I am both proud and humbled to be associated with such a fine institution and such an outstanding group of people.
