Attracting The Best T riang le H as B ecome H otbed of Making the T riangle home, we’re all aware of the quality of life, the higher education opportunities virtually in our backyards and the ability to head to the mountains or beach on a half tank of gas.

T he sports world has also taken notice of W ake C ounty.

W ithin the last five years, the newly-branded G reater R aleigh S ports A lliance has helped attract an average of 70 events, resulting in a total of $150 million of economic impact to the area.

T he G reater R aleigh S ports A lliance markets R aleigh and W ake C ounty for sporting events, tournaments, championships and sports-related meetings, then partners with venues such as the PNC

Sp or ting E vents.

A rena, W akeMed S occer Park and USA B aseball N ational T raining C omplex to provide a winning experience.

S cott D upree, the long-time executive director of the GRSA , says the ability to generate revenue off an event is the number one driving force

for decision makers, but top-notch venues are a close second.

“W ithout it being cliché we have a handful of world-class facilities here,” D upree said. “F olks who make decisions on where to hold events want to be in the best facilities.”

T he GRSA spends about $500,000 a year to attract $30 million in economic impact. D upree says more than 140 hotels, a central location along the E ast C oast and temperate weather are also factors as to why W ake C ounty has become a popular sports destination.

O ne major event on the calendar in 2013 is scheduled for June 2nd. T he Ironman 70.3 R aleigh marks the first Ironman competition in the Carolinas. It includes a 1.2-mile swim in Jordan Lake, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run.

T he triathlon sold out for competitors faster than any other Ironman 70.3 competition in the world.

“W e are establishing a strong brand nationally. People around the country think of the R aleigh area as a great sports event destination,” D upree said.

Keeping it in the Family Duke Primary Care’s family (practice) is growing

By Page Leggett

T

he idea of a doctor who can treat the whole family and the whole person (body and mind) seems like something out of a bygone era. But the practice is alive, well and growing at Duke Primary Care.

Family medicine came about as a reaction to the increasing number of medical specialties and subspecialties that began shortly after World War II. With more physicians specializing in specific practice areas, there was a concern there wouldn’t be enough generalists left to practice traditional medicine. In 1969, family medicine was recognized – a little ironically – as a distinct specialty in the United States.

Family physicians diagnose and treat illness, offer preventive care and are the only physicians who treat people from “the cradle to the grave.”

They are the utility players of medicine. Matthew

Hayes, DO of Duke Primary Care Waverly Place in Cary, says a family doctor should be able to treat 90 percent of people’s issues. And when they need to refer a patient to a specialist, they can coordinate their care.

Dr. Hayes is a family physician with a specialty in the spine and musculoskeletal system and a particular interest in sports medicine. He’s a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine – a DO – who’s trained to do back and neck adjustments. DOs are not chiropractors. They are fully licensed physicians who can prescribe medicine; they simply have a different type of medical school training.

Women and babies There’s usually no patient too young for a family physician to see. “Children do not generally need both a pediatrician and a family doctor,” says Melissa Reed, MD of Duke Primary
