Flu. Fever. Minor burns, cuts and falls. These minor emergencies can be a major inconvenience and expense if treated at a center designed, staffed and equipped to treat life-threatening emergencies. While Phoebe's Regional Emergency Center is the place for all life-threatening situations, Phoebe's ConvenientCare is the appropriate place to receive treatment for those minor injuries and ailments. At ConvenientCare you'll receive prompt attention…and it costs less than an emergency room visit. This facility treats patients on a walk-in basis only Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and on Weekends and holidays from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Phoebe's Physical Medicine Department hosts a wide range of rehabilitative areas to help our customers return to a normal lifestyle after a stroke, accident or other illness which compromises their mobility. Our services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, audiology, sports medicine and pediatric therapy. A physician referral is required.

The department is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information about these services, call 229-312-8700.

During the mid 1980's, the Georgia legislature recognized the need for more primary care physicians in Southwest Georgia and acted decisively to facilitate the development of a new Family Medicine Residency Program to meet that need. After a thorough review of the existing 38 county regional medical centers, Phoebe was chosen as the ideal site for this program.

The Southwest Georgia Family Medicine Residency program, established in 1993 is one of the ways we have addressed the shortage of health care professionals in the region. Our program is designed to provide family physicians with the knowledge, skills, and professional contacts needed to practice quality family medicine in Southwest Georgia. The Residency program, located at Phoebe Northwest, is the training location for these physicians, 70 percent of whom practice within 100 mile radius of Albany after graduating from the program.
