Local Family's Donation Improves Pediatric Waiting Room
Thursday, February 12th, 2015 -- 8:16 AM
-The Memorial Medical Center Foundation would like to recognize two special donors that are making our community a better place.Omar and Sheryl Young from Granton, along with their children, Ceasar (13), Kennedy (6), and Liberty (4), recently made a visit to Memorial Medical Center to check out the new pediatric waiting room at the clinic. The project was made possible by a donation from the family in honor of the services they have received at MMC. All three children are patients under the care of Dr. Kenneth Weimer, Pediatrician.
The donation from the Young family enabled the Memorial Medical Center Foundation to create a new and exciting waiting room for the youngest of patients. The project began with a mural painting by local artist Jodi Sorenson. Then, new furniture was purchased from a local Amish woodworker. Finally, in each of the pediatric exam rooms, IPADS were securely mounted to the walls, allowing the kids the play educational games while waiting for their doctor to see them.
So the next time you visit Memorial Medical Center, stop over to the lower clinic and visit the pediatric waiting room. Take a peek at the artwork and look for the names of the Omar and Sheryl's children, embedded on the waiting room walls as a reminder of their generous gift to the community.
