To Charles Coker and Barbara Meeks who selflessly served many years in their previous roles, THANK YOU! Their time and dedication to furthering the Guild’s mission does not go without notice. The patients’ benefiting from your good work are so appreciative! In a time of rising expenses and dwindling resources, the Guild’s mission is critical to the lives of the patients it serves.
