After serving on the Memorial Health advisory board for more than two decades, Mr. Curtis Anderson is retiring from his position.

Mr. Anderson was presented with a resolution recognizing his exceptional leadership and stewardship to our organization. Also, in appreciation of their support for Memorial Health and the Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute, the Andersons were presented with a one-of-a-kind marble sculpture of the dove icon from the original Anderson Cancer Institute logo.
