“These transformational projects
will improve access to quality care
in our region and help ensure we are
growing the healthcare workforce that
will be needed to meet the needs of
the people of southwest Georgia for
many years to come. The results of our
investments will be tangible, and the
benefits will be long-lasting.” Steiner
added. “Phoebe is one of the most
dynamic economic engines in this part
of Georgia, and we take our role as a
good corporate citizen seriously. We
want this area to grow and prosper,
and we believe the investments we are making will
lead to even greater economic
development that will help lift
the entire community.”
Kelsey Reed, DNP and
Patient Care Director, adds
“Phoebe offers so many career possibilities and opportunities for professional growth.
I have been able to advance
my career in incredible ways
right here at home, and it is
extremely rewarding to be
able to serve people in the community where I grew up.” That’s quite a
testimonial from an Albany native.
Exploring Albany
Whether you enjoy nature and
the outdoors, history and heritage,
sports or the arts there’s something
for everyone to enjoy in this charming
Southern community. Let the Flint
RiverQuarium amaze you or get close
to native and exotic animals at Chehaw Wild Animal Park. Explore Albany’s heritage, from the legacy of the
railroads to the city’s key role in the
1960s civil rights movement. As the
cultural center of Southwest Georgia,
Albany supports a symphonic orchestra, live theater ensemble, chorale,
and ballet company in addition to an
impressive museum of art.
Albany is a sportsman’s paradise,
and with the moderate climate, one
can enjoy the outdoors year-round.
The Kinchafoonee and Muckalee
Creeks flow into the Flint River at Lake
Chehaw, a 1,400-acre lake that is great
for boating and fishing. Golfers will
find a wealth of challenging courses in
Albany and surrounding areas. Hunting plantations abound and marksmen
from around the world aim for Albany
during hunting season.
