The AnMed Health Family Medicine Center, the practice site for the AnMed Health Family Medicine Residency Program, recently honored two of its former patients by dedicating its waiting room in their honor. Edison Thomas and his wife, Gene, were patients at the Family Medicine Center for 25 years. The couple was always pleased with the care they received from family medicine residents and faculty. To express their gratitude, the Thomases left a portion of their estate - $63,172 - to the Family Medicine Center. Mr. Thomas's two sisters surprised the Family Medicine Center with a check in October. After renovations, the Family Medicine Center unveiled The Mr. and Mrs. Edison C. Thomas Waiting Room on Feb. 3, 2012. "What a wonderful gesture of appreciation this gift is to recognize the 36 years of family medicine training and compassionate patient care rendered at our program," said Dr. Stoney Abercrombie, director of the AnMed Health Family Medicine Residency Program. Every day patients have the opportunity to give back to AnMed Health in honor of the caregivers who made a difference in their life. To find out how, call the AnMed Health Foundation at 864.512.3477 and ask about the Grateful Patient program.
