Wiregrass Medical Center has served the people of Geneva County and surrounding areas since 1955. Some employees grew up in the area, and even formed a family tree at the hospital. These employees now take “caring for the community” to a whole new level.
Dr. Simmons is one of many carrying on his family’s legacy of working at the Wiregrass Medical Center. He studied at Harvard and UAB, and later accomplished his family medicine residency at A&M and spent years teaching there before coming back to Geneva in 2015.“I had surgery in this hospital when I was younger,” Dr. Simmons said.
His family of healthcare frontliners is a legacy he knew he wanted to be a part of since he was a child. He recalls growing up seeing patients interact with his dad. “I’ve traveled, and I’ve been a nurse in other areas in other states, and there is something different when you’re here,” McDaniels said. “This is your hometown, this is your community, these are the people that you know, so most of the people that we care for are our friends and our family.
“I love this hospital,” Dr. Simmons said. “I trust it. I send my patients here every day. I operate here every day. I had my own surgery here, and I would just say to the people of this area, this is your hospital, come use it, we’re here to help you, we’re here to serve you.”
