Recruit. Retain.
Be reliably successful.
ONE WAY
Archbold remains
focused on our mission to provide our
patients access to high-quality health-
care is through our efforts to recruit
and retain the best medical talent to
practice in our region.
Ten years ago, Archbold established
an agreement with the Florida State
University (FSU) College of Medicine
to give medical students an oppor-
tunity to complete required clinical
studies with members of the existing
Archbold medical staff throughout our
system. This agreement marked the
first time FSU had established a setting
for required clinical rotations to be
completed outside the state of Florida.
Each year, Archbold hosts five third-
and fourth-year medical students to
give them a clinical study opportu-
nity in close proximity to Tallahassee.
At the same time, this opportunity
increases Archbold’s options for
recruiting new physicians to practice
in our region.
A training ground
for great physicians
To date, 50 medical students have
completed clinical training rotations
in Thomasville. Four graduates of the
FSU College of Medicine program at
Archbold have returned to Southwest
Georgia and are now practicing medi-
cine locally.
Our partnership with the FSU
College of Medicine has proved to
be a great investment in the future of
healthcare for our community. And
it’s our hope that the program will
continue on the successful path of
producing great medical talent that
will appreciate the unique qualities of
living and practicing medicine in small
communities like Thomasville—and
throughout Southwest Georgia.

Whywe give
LEE AND RUSSELL CHUBB
“ARCHBOLD IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART
of our community.
Because we have such a great hospital and medical community, Thomasville
is able to attract many people and businesses that could choose to locate
elsewhere,” said Lee Chubb. “We have good schools, a healthy economy and a
diverse population that might not exist without Archbold.”
“I have been honored to serve on Archbold’s Board of Trustees for over 30 years,
and I’ve seen firsthand how important this organization is to our community,”
said Russel Chubb. “My great-uncle Percy began the family commitment of
giving to the Archbold Foundation in the 1920s. We are happy to continue our
90-year family tradition of giving back to Archbold today.”
