FOCO Talks Leadership 2024

Steve Cooper, 2024 Board Chair, Jan Rooney, Chair Elect & James McCoy, Forsyth County Chamber President & CEO

Since the inception of the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce in 1954, the purpose has remained the same; increase prosperity and promote and better community life for all. Our organization continues to be the leader in economic development, advocacy on issues of interest to business and engaging business leaders to ensure the long term economic health of our community.
Forsyth County is located just northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. The County was partitioned in 1832 from a section of Cherokee County territory along with nine other counties in the area. Forsyth County was named for John Forsyth, Governor of Georgia from 1827 – 1829.
Cumming and Forsyth County, Georgia are consistently ranked among the most desirable communities in the nation. World class schools, nationally recognized parks, over 200 miles of lake shore line, the lowest property taxes in the region and a vibrant business community are the primary factors that earn the community accolades year after year.
The Chamber exists to be the voice of business, fostering a strong economic
environment and a superior quality of life in Forsyth County. Over the past sixty years, they have become experts in economic opportunity and growth. Visit www.focochamber.org to learn more.

To Your Health With Dr. Jim Morrow: Episode 1, Introduction, Morrow Family Medicine

00:00 /

Dr. Jim Morrow, Morrow Family Medicine

Dr. Jim Morrow has practiced Family Medicine for 33 years. Dr. Morrow graduated from Clemson University and the University of South Carolina School Of Medicine. He completed his residency in Family Medicine in Anderson, South Carolina in 1985.

He moved to Georgia in 1993 and to Cumming in 1998. He moved to what was then the Baptist North Hospital campus when the first medical office building opened in November 1998. Northside Hospital bought it a few years later.

In 2009 he left his former practice because of his concern over the lost ability to control how patients were treated by staff and office. He wanted to open his own practice but had an 18 month non-compete. While waiting for his non-compete to expire, Dr. Morrow worked in healthcare IT as Medical Director for an EHR company for two years. He then opened Morrow Family Medicine in 2011.

Dr. Morrow has a expertise in healthcare IT. He implemented electronic records in his office in December 1998, and won a national award for that implementation in 2004. He was named Physician IT Leader of the Year for his work traveling and preaching the gospel of healthcare IT. Dr. Morrow stayed very active in the healthcare IT world in Georgia and nationally until the practice started getting busy and he didn’t have the time anymore. He received the Community Leader of the Year Award from the Healthcare IT Leadership Summit and Metro Atlanta Chamber for his work in Healthcare IT.

Morrow Family Medicine has grown incredibly, and Dr. Morrow considers himself very blessed. He was named the Steve Bloom Entrepreneur of the Year by the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber for his work at Morrow Family Medicine and also the charity run by his wife Peggie and him, the Forsyth BYOT Benefit. The Forsyth BYOT Benefit has raised over $300,000 in six years for students who do not have the technology they need for school, such as computers or home internet access.

Morrow Family Medicine now has two physicians, three physician assistants and two nurse practitioners serving patients in two locations, Cumming and Milton. Morrow Family Medicine has won the Best of Forsyth Award each of the five years it has been given, and the Best of North Atlanta Award ever since the Milton office opened three years ago. Both offices maintain a walk-in hour every weekday from 7:30 am to 8:30 am so that there is never a day when you can’t be seen if you have an issue, need a refill, have a question, etc.
