The sudden closing this month of Conyers Family Practice after nearly 50 years of treating patients on Main Street is proof that even the medical field is not immune to a weak economy. Employees were told on Oct. 5 that the practice would be closing its doors for good at the end of business that day. According to Ann Parry, who was the office manager for 39 years, the out-of-town owner simply told the staff it was a "business decision" to immediately close the office.
