HELLO, FRIENDS I am Kenneth Daughtrey, M.D., Chief of Staff at Covington County Hospital. As a proud native of Covington County, I am privileged to be back home serving the community that raised me. Our dedicated staff at Covington County Hospital is committed to providing you and our community with the exceptional care that you deserve and expect from your family and friends. In this edition of CovingtonCares, we will showcase Dr. Thomas Blackledge and the CCH Clinic in Magee. You will also discover how one of CCH’s interns, Cambri Brewer, a Licensed Master Social Worker, found a home on staff with the Brightside Intensive Outpatient Program. Our Dietary and Environmental Services departments will enlighten you on why their role in patient care is invaluable. The cover story introduces our Emergency Room and the teamwork with Emergency Medical Services to recognize stroke and cardiac issues upon EMS' arrival on the scene. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and efforts that have gone into all their training and work, benefiting the community when time is of the essence. We are honored to serve our community and deliver award-winning healthcare. Thank you for entrusting us with your health and well-being.
