EXPANSION OF CHATTOOGA COUNTY STAND-ALONE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR OUTPATIENT SERVICES - THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SAVE LIVES BY PROVIDING OUTPATIENT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO THE UNDERSERVED RURAL RESIDENTS IN CHATTOOGA AND SURROUNDING NORTHWEST GEORGIA COUNTIES. IN 2023, ATRIUM HEALTH FLOYD BUILT A STAND-ALONE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN CHATTOOGA COUNTY. THIS FACILITY, THE FIRST IN GEORGIA TO BE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP, PROVIDES ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CARE THAT DID NOT PREVIOUSLY EXIST IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS FUNDING WOULD ALLOW US TO EXPAND THAT LOCATION TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL OUTPATIENT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE: O COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) O RADIOLOGY O ULTRASOUND O EKG O INFUSION THERAPY O ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY O CARDIAC STRESS TESTING IT IS OUR HOPE THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY BY OFFERING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE AVOIDED. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR OUR CURRENT MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY PROGRAM TO DIAGNOSE BREAST CANCER IN A WOMAN WHO IS HAVING HER FIRST MAMMOGRAM, DESPITE BEING PAST THE AGE WHEN TESTING SHOULD HAVE COMMENCED. THAT INITIATIVE IS SAVING LIVES. WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE EXPANSION OF THIS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WILL DO THE SAME. ALONG WITH IMPROVING PHYSICAL HEALTH, THE PROJECT HAS A MULTI-TIERED APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE REGION. FIRST, BY ELIMINATING THE NEED TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES FOR DIAGNOSTIC CARE, AREA BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES WILL EXPERIENCE FEWER LOST WORK HOURS. THERE WILL NO LONGER BE THE NEED FOR WORKERS TO TAKE A MINIMUM OF A HALF DAY AWAY FROM WORK TO TRAVEL AND HAVE TESTING. NEXT, THE PROJECT WILL REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF AT LEAST FIVE NEW FULL-TIME POSITIONS, TO BE RECRUITED FROM THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THESE POSITIONS WILL BE CREATED SPECIFICALLY TO PROVIDE THESE NEW SERVICES. LOCAL BUSINESSES WILL BENEFIT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO VISIT THE COMMUNITY FOR TESTING AND STAY LONG ENOUGH TO PATRONIZE SHOPS OR RESTAURANTS. FINALLY, ALONG WITH EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE IS A KEY INDICATOR OF A COMMUNITY’S OVERALL ECONOMIC HEALTH AND IS CRUCIAL TO THE RECRUITMENT OF NEW BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES. BY ENHANCING HEALTH CARE OFFERINGS IN CHATTOOGA COUNTY, WE WILL MAKE THE COMMUNITY MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR COMPANIES CONSIDERING EXPANSION OR RELOCATION. THIS PROJECT WOULD PROVIDE SERVICES FOR MORE THAN 3,000 GEORGIA RESIDENTS ANNUALLY.
