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.

Life-Saving Trauma and Emergency Care in Your Neighborhood

This summer, in addition to staying safe in hot weather, you can work to prevent driving-related injuries or deaths as you and your family travel for vacation or holidays. Driving sober and wearing a seatbelt can significantly reduce your chances of traumatic injury or injuring or killing someone else.

Wearing a seatbelt can reduce the risk of serious injury and death by 50%, and nearly one in three traffic deaths in the U.S. involves a driver under the influence. Also, if you’re spending some time swimming this summer, there are a few safety precautions you can take to reduce the risk of drowning or injury.

Swim in designated areas with lifeguards, and never swim alone. If you are supervising children, keep a close eye on them, even if they have already learned to swim. Don’t leave children unattended near water, and make sure children and inexperienced swimmers wear life jackets.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading cause of death and disability among ages 0-45 is traumatic injury. When someone experiences a traumatic injury, getting timely, expert care is crucial. With Georgia's largest trauma network, Wellstar has expertise and experience in providing emergency and trauma care when it matters most.

  • Wellstar Paulding Medical Center and Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center are Level IV Trauma Centers.
  • Wellstar Cobb Medical Center is a Level III Trauma Center.
  • Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center and Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center have both earned the Level II Trauma Center designation.
  • Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center is a Level I Trauma Center — the designation signaling the highest level of care.

Wellstar’s trauma centers are part of a statewide team that collaborates closely to provide expert care.

“With the largest trauma network in Georgia, Wellstar is a leader in trauma care. This means patients get the right level of care during the critical hour following injury," said Dr. Katherine Kohler, trauma medical director at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center.

In addition to an extensive trauma network, Wellstar is also home to the largest emergency department in the Southeast and the second largest in the country at Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center. To serve younger patients, specialized pediatric emergency departments are located at Wellstar Cobb Medical Center, Wellstar Douglas Medical Center, Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center and Wellstar Paulding Medical Center.
