Cancer center seen as negative
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) is a privately held, for-profit, Illinois-based company that owns and operates small hospitals that cater to insured or otherwise affluent persons seeking treatment for various oncological (cancer) conditions. In 2008, CTCA successfully lobbied the Georgia legislature to enact special legislation which exempts it from other laws that not-for-profit, community hospitals must comply with through Certificate of Need laws. CTCA has approached officials in several counties, including Coweta, seeking financial inducements to build a specialty cancer hospital.
