Milestones

• March 2008 - New Specialties
  In the month of March, RBRA has added two new specialty areas to its research program: Oncology/Hematology and Sports Medicine. RBRA strives to bring specialty care and increase treatment options for patients through leading-edge clinical trials, and the addition of these specialty interests greatly bolsters these goals.
• March 2008 - A Cancer Alliance
  RBRA has teamed up with Georgia Cancer Specialists (GCS) here in the RiverStone Medical Campus. We welcome Dr. John Manfredi, MD and Dr. William Whaley, MD, FACP to our group of investigators who specialize in treating patients with cancer.
• March 2008 - Team Work
  RBRA has embraced a sporting culture this month. We welcome Dr. Mark Leski, MD and Dr. Stefanie Shaver, MD to our Sports Medicine Research Program. Not to be overlooked, however, Dr. Whaley, MD, FACP who recently joined our Oncology program is also the team internist for the National Hockey League's (NHL) Atlanta Thrashers. Go team go!
• April 2008 - Expansion Phase
  RBRA's steady growth over the past decade has meant the need for more research space. Upon completion of Phase II (set for the end of February 2008) of RiverstoneMD, P.C., RBRA's current research facility is set to double, allowing for greater patient screening and enrollment, and reducing patient wait times.
• January 2008 - Fresh Look
