Dr. George Smith, who is retiring from Community Health Northwest Florida after more than 30 years.
From Tom St. Myer, writing for Rick Outzen on ricksblog.biz, on Dr. George Smith, who is retiring from Community Health Northwest Florida after more than 30 years with the organization:
Irreplaceable. That is the simple but accurate word Community Health Northwest Florida CEO Chandra Smiley uses to describe Dr. George Smith. Yet that is the challenge Smiley will soon encounter.
The 66-year-old Smith is retiring this month after touching countless lives for 31 years as a physician at Community Health. Smiley and patients alike describe him as kind, caring, thoughtful, and attentive.
“With the fast pace in which our clinics run and the challenges our patients face, I’ve never seen him rattled or upset,” Smiley said. “He’s always been kind of calm in the storm.”
The public is invited to join us as we celebrate Dr. Smith from 4 to 6 p.m. May 9 at our Jackson Street location.
