Stephens Co. Hospital’s 80th Anniversary Celebration this Weekend
Stephens County Hospital’s 80th anniversary celebration is this weekend.
On Sunday, July 30, the hospital is hosting an outdoor event, themed “celebrating our past and reaffirming our future.”
Anderson said the beginning of the event will be outside, with David Fry from the symphony playing music and then an invocation by Brian Shelton.
“We’re going to have an invocation by Bryan Shelton who is the provost at Toccoa Falls College and that’s important to us because TFC donated the land that the hospital sits on today,” said Anderson. “They did that back in 1965, so we’re very excited about our relationship with TFC, and in particular because they’re starting their nursing school this fall that was part of the entire dream- having a hospital and a nursing school to prepare individuals for healthcare in the future.”
The rest of the day will include a welcome by Chairman of the Hospital Authority Board Mark Wilkinson and recognizing past and present employees, board members, physicians, people who were born in the hospital and others.
There will also be memorabilia old photos in the main lobby and a reception in the cafeteria.
The event is from 2-5 p.m. and the public is invited.
