Annually, the system provides a free health screening day at the campus of Coliseum Northside Hospital. This year, over 1200 people participated in the event, which included more than 25 booths of free screenings, health information, food and children’s activities.Local Macon attorney Jeff Powers has run in marathons. He’s competed in triathlons. He even swam across the Alcatraz Bay in San Francisco during one competition.
Needless to say, he’s not someone who expected to find that he had high cholesterol – an early warning sign for heart attack or stroke.
“I decided to go to one of the Coliseum Health Fairs and they were doing a variety of free health screenings, so I took advantage,” Powers said. “When they sent me the results I was very surprised about my cholesterol level.”
Powers, who is married and has a nine-year-old and seven-year-old, worked on changing his diet and getting more exercise. “I am eating better and trying to make sure that I exercise regularly.” Powers said. “My cholesterol is where it needs to be now.”
Powers credits the Coliseum with doing its part to keep the community healthy.
“Coliseum is fantastic,” he said. “They are very beneficial to the community in what they are doing inside and outside the hospital. The screenings and lab work that I had would have cost hundreds of dollars if I would had it done in the physician’s office. Coliseum did all that for free and helped to make sure that I stay healthy for my family.”

Congratulations to Jeff Powers and Adam Beecher on their $45,000 ($15k compensatory and $30k Punitive) verdict in Upson County yesterday. As I understand it was a DUI case with $5k in specials and some difficult facts to overcome. This is a great job in an extremely conservative venue. Goes to show that you can get a good verdict in a conservative venue if you are willing to take the case the distance.

Macon, GA – July 31, 2009 – Attorney and former Bibb County Prosecutor Jeff Powers recently finished fourteenth in his age group and seventy-seventh in his third Alcatraz Challenge Aquathlon & Swim on Saturday, July 12 in San Francisco, CA. The event began with a one and a half mile swim beginning at Alcatraz and concluding at Crissy Beach, near the Presidio. Following the swim participants tied on their running shoes and ran across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and back for a total of seven miles. Last year Powers finished in one hour and forty-five minutes and placed 50th overall in the competition.
Powers has been competing in triathlon events since 1988 as a student at Florida State University but fell away from competing in the intervening years. “I was just glad to finish that first race,” Powers remembers.
Training for events like the Alcatraz Challenge is a year round endeavor. “I swim at Northside Pool with a group of Masters Swimmers three days a week. I also bike with a group several days a week. Right now I am focusing on swimming and running,” says Powers, “In May, I competed in the Coliseum Hospital Rock N Roll ½ Ironman Race finishing third in my division for the swim portion of the race. That was my warm-up for Alcatraz.”
“Running across the Golden Gate Bridge is exhilarating! The Bridge literally moves while you are running and the wind and fog are coming in off the San Francisco Bay as you run out towards Sausalito. This year the water was much more turbulent and the bridge was really windy,” grins Powers.
Powers future competition goals include a ½ Ironman Race and maybe even a Full Ironman at some point in the future. “It takes a lot of training so I will have to work up to it but I’m looking forward to the challenge,” says Powers.
The Alcatraz Challenge Aquathlon & Swim began in 1981 as the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon. The event has evolved over time dropping the bike event and becoming the Aquathlon it is today. The venue allows racers to experience two of San Francisco’s pre-eminent landmarks – Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge – up close and personal.
