Closer Care, Bigger Impact
Finding the right healthcare shouldn’t feel like a second job. Piedmont Eastside Medical Center is making care more personal and convenient by bringing more services, specialists, and support closer to home across Gwinnett. The goal isn't simply adding locations. It's making every step of the healthcare journey feel more connected, whether someone needs an annual checkup or is facing a serious diagnosis.
Care That Fits Real Life
Access to primary care is where many healthcare journeys begin. New Piedmont Primary Care offices in Duluth and Grayson are giving Gwinnett residents more convenient options for routine visits, preventive screenings, chronic disease management, and same-day appointments. Instead of waiting weeks for care or driving across the county, patients can build lasting relationships with providers who know their health history and help identify concerns earlier.
Piedmont Eastside has also expanded convenient care options designed to fit busy schedules, including:
- Same-day appointments
- Online scheduling
- Video visits
- Preventive wellness planning
- Chronic disease management
These updates reflect a larger effort to make quality healthcare easier to access before small concerns become bigger ones.
Guiding Patients Through Every Step
A cancer diagnosis often brings a long list of appointments, specialists, and difficult decisions. Piedmont Eastside's new Cancer Navigator, ReNesha Porcher, BS, RN, OCN, helps patients coordinate oncology care by connecting imaging, surgeons, infusion services, specialists, and additional resources while serving as a consistent point of contact throughout treatment.
The hospital has also expanded local cancer care with the addition of Sami Ali, M.D., Piedmont Oncology's first medical oncologist in Gwinnett. Expanded interventional pulmonology services help physicians identify and evaluate lung nodules and respiratory conditions earlier, allowing patients to move through diagnosis and treatment planning more efficiently.
Innovation continues with advanced robotic technology across multiple specialties, giving physicians greater precision during minimally invasive procedures while supporting shorter recovery times for many patients.
Recovery remains another priority. Piedmont Eastside's inpatient rehabilitation program has ranked among the nation's top-performing rehabilitation facilities for nine consecutive years, and the new Eastside Rehabilitation Hospital in Loganville brings advanced rehabilitative care closer to patients recovering from strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and orthopedic conditions.
For Gwinnett families, these investments reflect a healthcare system focused on making exceptional care easier to reach, easier to navigate, and closer to home.
