I can't say for sure what patients or employees think about CTCA because I don't know anyone who has worked for them or been a patient there. From everything I have read and researched about them though, they really seem like one of the better organizations in the hospital industry. Having been an employee of Piedmont Fayette and knowing employees of Piedmont Newnan, I can say with 100% confidence that they have to be better than Piedmont. I don't think there is anyway the management could be any worse than the management at Piedmont. Healthcare is a business, but there are healthcare leaders who operate with integrity and then there are those that don't. I am hopeing that CTCA will be one of the organizations that do have integrity and will not be like Piedmont. As for the community, CTCA will only bring more prosperity to the area. Whether in housing, retail, restaurants, etc.

I'm all ears waiting to hear from the person/people who have a problem with the CTCA. No one can please everyone so I've no doubt the naysayers are out there. So far it's been mighty quiet on that front. From everything I've seen, heard, read, Newnan and Coweta County WELCOMES the CTCA. We want them here and will be glad for the positive effects their presence will have on our community. Let's not let political B.S. get in the way of medial progress. After all, aren't we all talking about HEALTH CARE right now? At some point Piedmont's protests just amount to bad PR for them. Regardless of their objections, they look bad bashing a cancer hospital.

CON Hospital

It's not a done deal. The CON process can take months or years depending on opposition and appeals. The DCH will look at the need for a cancer hospital across the metro area, the state and the regoin. It's a huge price tag they also have to consider. I wouldn't expect much opposition from Piedmont unless they are wanting to focus more on cancer services. Look for other cancer hospitals to protest this one.

I would like to see all comments posted both for and against CTCA. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about CTCA and I've not seen any post.

If Piedmont tries to stop the cancer hospital from coming to Newnan, I suggerst that all Coweta County people consider useing Tanner Memorial in Carrollton or W. Ga. Regional in La Grange. It would be a bad mistake on the part of Piedmont to interfear.

I don't think it was Piedmont was the problem. I think it was Newnan Hospital.

as a survivor of cancer this is what is needed in the state as well as the county, traveling to Houston is costly, and when a patient is ill it is hard for all. I would even like to volunter to work at this facility.

I hope Piedmont doesn't try to do anything to stop this hospital from being built like they did Emory Peachtree. Surely this is pretty much a done deal, right?

Yaa! I am so glad there will be another hospital in our area other than the two Piedmonts in Newnan and Fayetteville. Hopefully, CTCA will have a better organization with good management so employees will want to work there and feel good about working there.
