We take education very seriously

here at Coweta-Fayette EMC, and

we think it's among our corporate

responsibilities to support local

students and the educational systems

within our service area. That’s why

we established the Melissa Segars

Memorial Scholarship which is funded

through the EMC’s Operation

Round-Up program.

So, thanks to participating EMC

members who contribute to the

fund monthly (they allow us to

“round up” their electric bill to the

next highest dollar and donate the

difference), 18 outstanding students

will receive assistance to further

their education!

Yes, we congratulate all of you for

your accomplishments and encour-

age you in your future endeavors.

Congratulations, Students!

Each year, members of theCoweta-Fayette Trust (themanagement arm ofOperation Round-Up) awardscholarships to outstandingstudents.

New Piedmont Newnan opens TuesdayPiedmont Newnan Hospital

officially opens Tuesday at its new campus at 745 Poplar Road.

But before that can happen the aging facility on Hospital Road must be officially closed.

It’s not a process that hap-pens with the flip of a switch or wave of a magic wand. Moving from the old facility to the new is actually a balanc-ing act that requires keeping both facilities open for more than a week as people, equip-ment and procedures under-go a transition that allows no room for error.

It’s not a process anyone takes lightly. But, so far, the procedure is going smoothly

and remarks from hospital officials make it clear they are ready to officially celebrate the opening of Georgia’s new-est hospital on Tuesday at 745 Poplar Road beside Interstate 85.

“We’ve waited a long time to be able to welcome patients to their new community hos-pital,” said Tim Stack, presi-dent and CEO of Piedmont

Healthcare. “We’re proud of the new facility and the expanded services we offer residents of Coweta County a n d t h e surround-ing areas. The open-i n g o f t h e n e w Piedmont Newnan Hospital is para-mount to our vision of provid-ing comprehensive, quality health care services across the Piedmont Healthcare system.”

The final days of joint oper-ation between the two facili-ties are scheduled down to the minute to make sure that essential services offered at Hospital Road remain in place until those services are
