MACON, GA — Central Georgia Cancer Care, the only oncology practice in the state with both QOPI® and ASCO accolades, is excited to announce the addition of Veronica L. Sudekum M.D. who brings supportive care to the practice for the first time in its history. Central Georgia Cancer Care recognized a need in the community, and added supportive care as a part of their continued commitment to supporting middle Georgia’s healthcare needs.
Dr. Sudekum is a double board-certified physician in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Central Georgia Cancer Care is honored to expand their care to include her expertise. Her practice focuses on helping patients and families navigate the physical, practical, and emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. She will provide supportive care services in Warner Robins, to both Central Georgia Cancer Care’s existing patients, and new patients who are looking for supportive care services.
A graduate of Stanford University’s program in Human Biology, she earned departmental distinction and membership in Phi Beta Kappa at Stanford. She completed her doctoral medical degree at the University of Virginia. During her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Emory, she led wellness initiatives on behalf of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. To gain a deeper understanding of how to manage symptoms and improve her patients’ quality of life, she pursued additional training in central Georgia in hospice and palliative care. Dr. Sudekum has held leadership roles in the American Medical Women’s Association. She has received support through UVA’s Center for Global Health Equity for clinical work in India and Tanzania, and remains committed to health equity.
When asked why she enjoys working in supportive care, Dr. Sudekum said, “I have the privilege of helping people in vulnerable moments to make a positive impact on their lives. Connecting with patients and earning the trust they place in me as their doctor makes my work fulfilling and rewarding.”
Dr. Sudekum strives to support each patient to live as fully as possible, even in the face of illness.
