Join a medical movement that is thinking outside the doc-in-a-box and putting patient care at a premium.

Joe McGowan can call his doctor any time of the day or night. In fact, he has the doctor’s private number. And when McGowan makes an appointment for an office visit, he’s in an exam room within 24 hours. If McGowan still has questions, he can e-mail his physician later.

But Joe McGowan isn’t a rock star or a movie star or even a CEO. He’s a retired 79-year-old regular guy—with a little extra cash and a lot of respect for his doctor. “He really listens to you,” McGowan emphasizes. “He really cares about your overall well-being.” At his age, McGowan believes he’s getting the best care of his life from Dr. Jeffrey Schyberg, a Savannah internist with a new model of medical practice known as concierge medicine.

At a school known for art, athletes show their true colors on the field.

As they all admit, being a successful artist–athlete at the Savannah College of Art and Design means developing a supreme sense of balance: a Buddha-like skill vital to juggling studio classes, notoriously time-consuming projects, rigorous daily training sessions and frequent road trips. But the artist–athletes also perform another—more rare—kind of balancing act. Challenged by their antithetical passions, they’ve had to adapt to excel in both the precise discipline of athletics and the wild field of art.

Take junior Matty Dwyer for example: When in uniform, he plays defender for the SCAD Bees soccer team. When out of uniform, he calls himself a conceptual artist who prefers working with his hands, a part of the body strictly off-limits when on the field. “I like the physicality of it,” he says about majoring in sculpture.

Or there’s Kendall Nichols, a rising senior outside hitter on the volleyball team, who displayed her keen sense of precision on the court by leading her team in scoring (with 322.5 points)

Want to build a soldier’s body without the fatigues? Follow these tips supplied by two of Fort Stewart’s finest.

Fitness and health are often the primary lines of defense for Fort Stewart’s 3rd Infantry Division combat soldiers. Peak levels of strength and endurance can mean the difference between life and death, success or failure. It’s no surprise then that Sergeants 1st class Jeremy St. Julian and Robert Frankforter take their training very seriously. “Physical fitness is our second highest priority,” said Frankforter. “Second only to training.”

Early every morning, St. Julian and Frankforter motivate and move hundreds of soldiers through rigorous exercise regimens specially designed to keep the world’s toughest troopers in peak physical condition. Luckily for those of us with less fight in us than flab, these two soldiers took a break from their rigorous regimes to let The South in on some if their training sessions’ best exercising secrets. Follow these tips and you’ll be in combat condition in no time.
