The continual quality awards we receive prove what I know firsthand—that our drive for excellence is shared by every other doctor and staff member on our team.” —G. Steven White, MD “GRMC provides award-winning care. From the actual facility and advanced technology to the outstanding nursing staff, the quality of care my patients and my family have received from GRMC has been excellent—every single time. The most important part of medical care is the human touch and genuine concern each staff member has for patients. GRMC feels like home.
