Community leader fights for
inclusion of Blacks on Sumter Regional Hospital
Authority
As
Sumter Regional Hospital works to rebuild its
tornado-ravaged building, one local leader wants
to make sure it does the right thing this time.
Dr. John Marshall, former local NAACP president,
said he will lead a fight to make sure the
hospital ceases what he calls "discriminatory
practices" of not selecting people on the
Hospital Authority who are responsive to the
needs of Blacks. In the wake of receiving
government and private funding to rebuild,
Marshall also wants better treatment of
patients.
Dispelling rumors that he
is going to close shop and leave town, Dr. John
Marshall says he has no plan to leave Americus.
To support his assertion by hiring additional
staff to carry out his family practice. Pictured
