Breast Cancer Awareness Month




October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We are taking a strong team approach here at Tuomey to fight this disease with everything we have. Dr. Henry Moses, one of our talented surgeons, summed it up best when he said he hoped to work himself out of a job someday. We hope he gets his wish.

I’d like to put a plug in for the Fall issue of LifeTimes, which is being mailed today. You can also see a digital copy of the magazine on our website and Facebook page on Friday.

In this issue, our LifeTimes staff will look at the different stages of a woman’s life and how we are here to serve you as you enter those different parts of your life. And we dedicate this issue to the women in our community. Strong, vibrant women, like our two new Tuomey board members – Nicole Norris and Kim Harvin. These dedicated women joined our board in July and are sure to work hard for your hospital.

We also take a look at our physician partners and what they are doing to take care of women. Sumter Ob/Gyn, which has been a part of this community for more than 75 years, offers procedures and surgeries using the latest technology. There is no reason to leave this community for your gynecological or obstetric services. You won’t find better care anywhere.

As you read through this issue, we hope you gain some additional insight on how your community hospital is here for you – in each stage of a woman’s life. And we do it all for one reason: Our patients.

Sincerely,

Jay Cox, FACHE
President & CEO
