GYN <strong>Cancer</strong> Program<br />

In recent years, our physicians noted a<br />

growing number of patients coming to<br />

<strong>WellStar</strong> seeking treatment for gynecological<br />

cancers, including cervical, endometrial<br />

and ovarian. To address this need, we have<br />

planned a multidisciplinary subcommittee<br />

to be led by Jeffery Hines, M.D., and Amy<br />

Carroll, M.D. The subcommittee will meet<br />

quarterly at <strong>WellStar</strong> Cobb Hospital and will<br />

include representatives from each discipline<br />

that treats gynecological cancer. A priority of<br />

this group will be assigning a nurse navigator<br />

who will assess needs and develop programs<br />

and services to meet the specific needs of<br />

this population of our patients.<br />
