Elizabeth Almon, MD, a board-certified general surgeon at Piedmont Physicians Surgical Specialists CPM, recently served as the Doctor of the Day for the Georgia State Capitol on March 4, 2024.
Dr. Almon specializes in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and she currently serves as Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Piedmont Newnan Hospital.
The Doctor of the Day program is a non-political service of the Medical Association of Georgia (MAG) serving Georgia legislators. Doctor of the Day volunteers work in the Medical Aid Station at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta during the legislative session each year. They provide minor medical care to legislators and their staff at no charge, and they are introduced in the Senate at the beginning of each legislative day.
“The Doctor of the Day program is a great opportunity for physicians to serve our state legislators and enable them to remain focused on their responsibilities while in session,” said Dr. Almon.
Dr. Almon, pictured with Senator Matt Brass, and Lt. Governor Burt Jones, spent the day at the capitol volunteering at the Medical Aid Station and meeting state representatives and staffers.
