Cancer Treatment Centers of America Newnan GA

Friday, February 20, 2015

So a few weeks ago I got to take photographs inside the Cancer Treatment Centers of America’s Newnan location south of Atlanta. The hospital focuses on more aggressive and progressive treatment programs that deal with the disease.

The focus of the story for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution centered around the staff that works inside the hospital. It has been labeled as one of the best places to work in Georgia so the reporter and I spent the day with different members of the staff getting their view on the place that they work.
