Morrow Family Medicine Bringing care back to healthcare in Cumming & Milton By Kathleen Boehmig Dr. James Morrow has built a sterling reputation in family medicine over the last thirty years, and hes now opening a second location in Milton. We treat people like family, Dr. Morrow says with a smile. We are a technologically advanced old-fashioned family practice. Thats what sets us apart. Dr. Morrow graduated from Clemson University and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, and he completed his residency in family medicine in Anderson, South Carolina in 1985. Dr. Morrow practiced medicine in Greenville, South Carolina for eight years before moving to Gwinnett County in 1993, where he worked for five years before moving his practice to Forsyth. He was the first physician to open a practice at the Northside Forsyth campus in Cumming in 1998. That location quickly became a go-to practice for Forsyth County residents. Being a doctor is the only thing I ever wanted to do, Dr. Morrow says. I love problem-solving using science and medical skill, listening to people, discerning what they need and helping them feel better. Its important to use every tool at your disposal for the patients benefit. When they leave my office, they have a plan and more peace of mind. Since opening his medical practice, Dr. Morrow has garnered numerous awards. A 2004 winner of the Healthcare Information Management Systems Societys (HIMSS) Davies Award for Excellence in EMR Implementation, Dr. Morrow was also recognized as the 2006 Physician IT Leader of the Year by HIMSS. He served four years as a commissioner on the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT). Dr. Morrow serves as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Health Information Network (GHIN), is a member of the Advisory Board for Health for the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG-Health), and he serves on the Advisory Council of the College of Health and Life Sciences for the University of North Georgia. In 2014, Dr. Morrow was awarded the Steve Bloom Award by the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce as Entrepreneur of the Year, and he also received a Phoenix Award from the Metro Atlanta Chamber as Community Leader of the Year. In 2015 and 2016, Morrow Family Medicine was voted the Best of Forsyth in the family medicine category. Morrow Family Medicine is known for its open access policy, same-day appointments and very popular morning walk-in hour. Patients need to be able to reach us when they need us, Dr. Morrow declares, and we do our best to meet that need. Patients will enjoy the same conveniences at the Morrow Family Medicine Milton location, open as of April 18th. Dr. Cheryl McGowan will be anchoring the Milton office. Dr. McGowan has been practicing in Alpharetta since completing her residency in family medicine at Wake Forest. She enjoys all aspects of medicine, especially chronic disease management. In addition to providing excellent medical care, Dr. Morrow gives back to the community through The Morrow Community Foundation, co-founded and managed by Dr. Morrows wife, Peggie. Their driving force is to make life better for those who have less than others. In 2013, The Morrow Community Foundation started a benefit to support the BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) initiative in Forsyth County Schools. In three years, the foundation has raised over $120,000 to support students who do not have the advantages of others, and has also helped schools improve their own technology infrastructure. Through the efforts of The Morrow Community Foundation, the county has installed internet service in over 400 homes, and Forsyth County schools and students are more connected online. Additionally, in 2014, the Morrows established The Morrow Family Scholarship to assist one deserving Forsyth County resident as he or she enters the first year of study in any field at the University of North Georgia. Dr. Morrow has built his classic family medical practice and his foundation on old-fashioned principles of caring for people with compassion while using state-of-the-art technology. If you are looking for people who care, he says, you have come to the right place. We believe that you will find a home with Morrow Family Medicine.
