Piedmont Newnan Hospital is showing its support for Coweta
schools and students through its recent sponsorship of the
Coweta County school system. The sponsorship benefits a wide
range of educational and student health and wellness programs at
Coweta elementary, middle and high schools, as well as
associated educational organizations. “Piedmont Newnan Hospital believes the education and development of our community’s children is extremely important,” said Michael Bass, president and CEO of Piedmont Newnan Hospital. “Through our support of Coweta Schools and the school system’s associated educational organizations, we hope to improve students’ knowledge, health, and wellness, which will, in turn, benefit our entire community. Further, we hope many Coweta students will develop an interest in healthcare, and perhaps join our Piedmont workforce in the future.” The programs and organizations receiving direct donations from the $10,000 sponsorship include all 29 county schools, plus Stepping Stones of Coweta County, the Coweta County Special Olympics, the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts, and athletic and band booster clubs at all three high schools for their use during the 2010-11 school year. “Piedmont Newnan Hospital has long been one of the most important business partners of the Coweta County School System, and one of the strongest and most consistent supporters of our students,” said Blake Bass, Superintendent of Coweta County Schools. “This is an extremely generous and much appreciated gift to our students. We appreciate Piedmont Newnan’s continued support of education and of our school system.”  Piedmont Newnan Hospital CEO Michael Bas, center, presents a check for $10,000 to the Coweta County Board of Education for support of Coweta County schools and a wide range of student athletic, artistic and educational programs.
