ATLANTA—Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins has joined forces with a high-end health care provider on a new concept in hospitality-health care facilities.
 
Anuschka Health Care Management Group, LLC specializes in providing health care hospitality equal to the finest hotels. Together, the company and Wilkins have formed Anuschka Health Care Group of Georgia, LLC to develop, manage and own hospitality-health care and rehabilitation facilities that will bear the “Dominique Wilkins” name. The first such facility will be a 20-room private in-patient acute rehabilitation center located in the Roberts Hotel Atlanta-Marietta, 1775 Parkway Place in Marietta, Ga., and will open this Fall.
 
“Since being diagnosed with Diabetes, I have dedicated my life to educating people about maintaining good health and living well. This new venture gives me a chance to touch peoples’ lives in a whole new way and give back to a city that has given so much to me and the Wilkins family.”   Wilkins said.
 
Some of the amenities of the Anuschka facilities include:
 
  • Chef-prepared gourmet meals
  • Fine Linens and comfortable, hotel-style beds
  • Concierge service
  • Personal electronics
  • A family business center
  • Convertible furniture to comfortably accommodate family members
 
“Today’s patients, particularly those from the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation, want something better than the traditional hospital room experience,” said Juanita Bates, CEO of the Anuschka Health Care Group. Bates said Wilkins is an outstanding choice to partner with Anuschka because he is not only a sports legend, but he is also an adept speaker on the subject of health and wellness.
 
The joint venture was orchestrated by the teamwork of Wilkins’ attorney, Bernard H. Coleman, Jr., Esq. (head of the Sports and Entertainment Practice Group in Atlanta at Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice PLLC), Eugene Radcliff (Partner and General Counsel at Anuschka Health Care Management LLC), Robert Tanner (financial consultant and business developer),

Marje’ Etheridge (consultant to Ms. Bates and CEO/Founder of Dreammart International) and Atlanta businessman John Wilkins.
