World-Class Resources, Personalized Care: West Georgia Cancer Treatment

Patients in West Georgia don’t need to drive to Atlanta for life-saving cancer care. The Enoch Callaway Cancer Center keeps quality care close to home and combines the resources of a large facility with the personalized, compassionate feel of a smaller location.

“One of my missions is to bring great cancer care to people close to where they live, so they can access that care much more easily,” said Wellstar Radiation Oncologist Dr. Robert Taylor. “To have Wellstar backing this world-class treatment, building this new cancer center and this fantastic team that we have, is absolutely stellar.”

At the Enoch Callaway Cancer Center at Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center, patients will find the latest in technology and clinical trials, paired with expert providers who care for both their physical and mental well-being.


Eliminating tumors virtually

Cutting-edge technology at the Cancer Center allows providers to target tumors using X-ray technology, keeping the journey to living cancer-free painless for patients.

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy takes about 30 minutes per treatment, with some patients requiring multiple treatments and others only needing one. It is most effective in early stage brain or lung cancer and can also be used to treat metastatic cancer.

“We’re able to use X-rays to very precisely target a tumor and literally kill that tumor inside there without the patient undergoing any surgery,” Dr. Taylor said. “Despite the name, there’s no cutting involved, and there’s no anesthesia involved.”

The patient lies on a table for the treatment, and “at the end of that 30 minutes, they will get up off that treatment table and walk out of the facility feeling the same as they did when they came in,” Dr. Taylor said.

“It’s absolutely miraculous to see people get off the table and know their brain tumor has been cured or their lung cancer has been cured,” Dr. Taylor said.

Wellstar Midwives Support Women's Best Health

From welcoming a child to well woman’s exams and health education, women have a partner and advocate in Wellstar’s certified nurse midwives.

Midwives are registered nurses who have received additional education and training in comprehensive care for women. While they may be associated with childbirth — and do support patients through every aspect of labor and delivery — they also offer personalized care for women through every phase of life. 

“Midwives do everything spanning from well women’s health, like annual exams, birth control, IUDs and Nexplanon insertions, to all of the prenatal care, so taking care of women from the time of conception throughout delivery and postpartum,” said Emily Goolsby, a certified nurse midwife at Wellstar.

Midwives collaborate with other members of a patient’s care team, including nurses and OB/GYNs, to provide comprehensive care during birth. Whether the patient has a natural childbirth or a medically-assisted birth, midwives provide personalized, expert care and advocate for the patient.

“We support all aspects of birth. We are there for the patients who are laboring naturally and want to be on the birthing ball or moving around, but sometimes the patient says their goal is to feel as little pain as possible,” Goolsby said. “Then, my goal is to advocate for those interventions as soon as possible. It’s all about making the birth experience what our patients want and supporting our patients in that environment.”

Numerous studies have shown the highest quality comprehensive birth experiences come from a multidisciplinary treatment team of midwives and OB/GYNs supporting and caring for a mom together.

“We’re championing for patients’ best outcomes and their babies, and it tends to decrease interventions overall that are unnecessary,” Goolsby said.

After the patient gives birth, midwives support patients through education on parenting topics such as breastfeeding and newborn care. 

Midwives care for patients at these Wellstar locations — Wellstar Cobb, Douglas, Kennestone, North Fulton, West Georgia and Spalding medical centers. If you already have a Wellstar OB/GYN, ask your provider about working with a midwife. If you need a new provider, find a Wellstar OB/GYN location near you.

Each plant is hand-delivered (free local delivery) by a hospice volunteer with a personalized card recognizing you and your recipient. Delivery dates for the flowers are Monday through Thursday, December 5-8, 2022, in plenty of time to enjoy their beauty all throughout the holiday season.
