Program Services cont'd

  • Diagnostic Imaging
      The Radiology department encompasses many imaging modalities. These include diagnostic radiology, MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, Vascular Imaging, 2 Mammography and the radiological component of Lithotripsy. Mammography is used as a screening and diagnostic tool. All of our modalities are used as diagnostic tools.
      Being an imaging department which is used greatly as a diagnostic and screening tool, we help to diagnose suspected cancer as well as other suspected illnesses. We also help the surgeons and pathology to localize or biopsy the different areas of concern in the body to help diagnose illnesses, including cancer. As you see, the radiology department plays a significant role in helping to localize, diagnose, and screen for cancer.
  • Financial Support Services
      Cancer is a disease that can devastate a family physically as well as financially. SRH offers a wide variety of services for financial assistance to our cancer patients. Our Financial Caseworker contacts all self-pay patients while they are in the hospital and all outpatients that are self-pay with accounts over $1,000. She contacts any other patients through physician or self-referral. The scope of services offered includes Supplemental Security Income/ Social Security Disability, Adult Medicaid Programs, American Cancer Society, and Cancer State Aid Services.
      Cancer State Aid is a special service offered by only 20 hospitals in The State of Georgia. This is a program where the participating physicians donate their time and services at no charge to the patient. In return, the hospital offers their facility, equipment, and staff to care for the patient at a fraction of the operating cost, which is paid by The State. The patient is never billed for any services including surgery, chemotherapy, and any follow-up care related to their cancer diagnosis. SRH also works with other participating hospitals to set up referrals to services that are not available at this facility.
  • Hospice of Americus and Sumter County
      Hospice of Americus and Sumter County is a complete home care program that provides palliative care to patients with limited life expectancy in Americus and Sumter County as well as Schley and Macon counties.
      Through a dedicated and caring interdisciplinary team approach, Hospice provides unique and comprehensive management of the many physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the patient and family experiencing the dying process. Hospice focuses on quality rather than quantity of life.
      RN’s are available 24 hours/seven days a week for medical emergencies. A Hospice Chaplain and Social Worker are also available when needed. Our valuable volunteers, who do a remarkable job, are also available when needed.
      During 2001, 49 new patients were admitted to our Hospice program.
      Hospice sponsors a Living With Grief Support Group for Hospice patients families and the general public. This group meets the first three Monday in February, April, June, Agust, October and December at the Hospice Office, 119 Brannan Avenue from 7 - 8 pm.
      Hospice of Americus and Sumter County continues to strive for the best possible program of care for the terminally ill in our area.
  • Mammography Reporting System
      Sumter Regional Hospital utilizes the Mammography Reporting System to track all mammograms performed at the hospital. This computerized system can generate reports to doctors, send reminders to patients, and create letters to patients. After the mammogram results are interpreted, they are entered into the system. The computer then generates a report for the doctor and a letter to the patients. This is done in compliance with standards set by the American College of Radiology and Food and Drug Administration.
  • Nutritional Services
      Sumter Regional Hospital offers nutritional screening and assessment to our cancer patients. Many times patients may need a change in diet due to the type of treatment they are receiving. They may have difficulty eating, resulting in weight loss and even malnutrition. A registered/licensed dietitian is available to consult with physicians, family, and patients to assess their nutritional needs and give recommendations.
