Pikeville Medical Center Celebration
Before an overflow crowd yesterday (Tuesday) at The Pikeville Medical Center, an appreciative gathering showered the Center with applause and accolades as everyone celebrated the selection of The Pikeville Medical Center as the National Hospital of the Year.
Local dignitaries, public officials, physicians, employees and the ordinary person who had received care from the Hospital in the past recalled the importance of the Hospital in their lives.
Walter E. May, President and Chief Executive Officer, was unable to attend the event due to illness, but, registered this observation on the Medical Center..."It has been a year of milestones for our institution. While we join our employees and our community in celebrating these milestones, we look ahead to the future."
Pam May, wife of the CEO, recalled the history of the Hospital from the time of its inception in 1924. In recognition of Pikeville Medical Center's honor, the City of Pikeville declared January as Pikeville Medical Center Month.
