🌟 10 Years of Excellence in Rural Healthcare! 🌟
We are incredibly proud to celebrate a major milestone—10 years of partnership between Docs Who Care (DWC) and Samaritan Hospital in Macon, MO! Together, we have remained committed to providing high-quality healthcare to Northeast Missouri, navigating the evolving challenges of rural medicine with dedication and heart.
A huge shout-out to Jill Williams, who has served as the vital leader of Samaritan Hospital beginning as CFO and now CEO since 2020. Jill and her dedicated staff - from the front office, the medical team, to the cafeteria crew - have all been phenomenal partners to ensure our DWC providers work well together to ensure the community receives the care it deserves.🎉
Another Milestone Recognition: We honored Dr. Clayton Whetmore for his incredible 10-year journey with DWC!
Dr. Whetmore was on-site at Samaritan Hospital from Day 1, logging over 19,000 hours in the Emergency Department. Thank you for your tireless service!
We were also thrilled to have Dr. Ronald Keller, Dr. Robert Schneider, and Dr. Andy Bukaty join the celebration—their instrumental work helped get this partnership up and running a decade ago.👏
This level of success takes a special team to pull off all the details needed for success. A special thank you to DWC’s "Team Missouri" for their hard work and support, led by:
✨ Marilyn Parker, Sr. Regional Manager
✨ Jessica Zubeck, Regional Coordinator
✨ Oi Bouttaphanh, Verifications Coordinator
✨ Flora Kayakone, Director of Recruitment
✨ Dr. Andy Bukaty, Chief Medical Officer
Our DWC team loved celebrating in person with the Samaritan staff! Here’s to the success of another 10 years and beyond! 🚀🏥
