At Phoebe, we are committed to putting safety first, offering superior service and providing exceptional care to everyone, every day. Here are more stories of patients whose lives have been impacted and improved by the Phoebe Family.
Ken Faust has faithfully served as a law enforcement officer with the Dougherty County Sheriff’s Office for 30 years. Other than diabetes, which he carefully manages, Ken never had any serious health problems, until one night in early May 2022.
He suffered a major heart attack that nearly took his life. As an EMS team rushed him to Phoebe, they used technology donated by the Phoebe Foundation to electronically transmit real-time data about Ken’s heart to Phoebe’s ER. When Ken arrived, the emergency cardiac team was assembled and ready to care for him. As soon as he arrived in the ER, Ken went into cardiac arrest. The team spent more than 45 minutes performing CPR, and they shocked Ken’s heart more than 70 times before he could be taken to the catheterization lab for a lifesaving procedure. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, Ken made an amazing recovery and was back at work in just a few weeks.

Ernie Shiver had never been a patient in a hospital until a terrible workplace accident changed his life. His right foot was severed, and he needed emergency surgery to amputate his leg just above his knee.
Ernie credits the quick, quality care he received at Phoebe with saving his life. He is now an advocate for Phoebe’s effort to earn designation as a level II trauma center, convinced that expansion of emergency services will ensure even more people like him in southwest Georgia will get lifesaving trauma care at Phoebe.
A few years after his accident, Ernie was diagnosed with cancer. He had multiple options for cancer treatment but knew he would receive the best possible care at the Phoebe Cancer Center. Ernie is now in remission and getting around well on his prosthetic leg.
Frank is as active a community servant as you are likely to find in southwest Georgia. In addition to his ongoing volunteer work, Frank has enjoyed successful careers in education and workforce development, and previously served as Executive Director of the Albany Civil Rights Institute.
As a survivor of both cancer and COVID-19, Frank is grateful for the quality care Phoebe provided, right here in his own back yard.
Alex Reshetnichenko is the orchestra teacher for the Dougherty County School System. He is also a professional violinist who performs with the Albany Symphony Orchestra and the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra.
His career was threatened in 2018, when his left pinky was broken and severely damaged in a freak fall. Alex was willing to travel anywhere in the world to find the right surgeon to repair his finger and allow him to continue playing the violin. Luckily, he found the care he needed, right here in Albany at Phoebe Orthopaedics.
