Archbold treats thousands of patients in its surgical department each year, including approximately 250 children. For many children, surgery can be an experience associated with fear, anxiety and emotional distress. A new partnership between the Archbold Auxiliary volunteer organization and the Archbold Surgical Department is bringing comfort to these patients when they need it most. Pediatric surgery patients at Archbold now receive a stuffed bear to provide emotional support prior to their surgery. Each bear, appropriately named “Archie,” is funded by a donation from the Archbold Auxiliary.
Archbold Pulmonology offers patients state-of-the-art technology with the Intuitive Ion robotic bronchoscopy system—a cutting-edge platform that enables pulmonologists to reach hard-to-access lung nodules with unprecedented precision. The team of pulmonologists—Ronald S. Batin, MD; Christian J. Trujillo, MD; and Luis Wulff, MD—completed their 500th robotic-assisted lung biopsy using the Ion system on February 11, 2026. This milestone reflects Archbold’s continued commitment to investing in advanced diagnostic capabilities, supporting earlier detection and faster treatment for patients across Southwest Georgia. “The Ion system has been transformational for our practice and for this community,” said Dr. Batin. “It allows us to access all 18 segments of the lungs to obtain tissue safely and accurately. When lung nodules are found to be cancerous, performing biopsy locally with the Ion system at Archbold often allows treatment to begin earlier and with greater confidence.”
