Mr. Davis was instrumental in negotiating our $1 per year lease with St. Thomas Midtown, which continues today; and Dr. Don Griffin, who treats Faith Family patients in need of surgical procedures related to skin cancers, etc.
Rubel Shelly, noted author, minister, and professor at Lipscomb University was the featured speaker. His remarks centered around people’s responsibility to help those less fortunate. Supporting Faith Family provides the opportunity to fulfill that responsibility.
Faith Family Medical Center is grateful to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and guests who made the morning so special. Mark your calendars next year for Wednesday, October 18, 2017 for the 9th annual Breakfast. Chairs Pam and Tom Wylly are already making plans!
