When patients to the Kirkland Cancer Center have follow up visits, one person they request to see is Fred Williams, who received the employee of the month award for February, when the West Tennessee Healthcare’s Board of Trustees met, Tuesday.

The presentation was made by Darrell King, vice president, West Tennessee Medical Group; Gina Myracle, executive director, Kirkland Cancer Center and Keith Garner, director, Radiation Oncology.

Fred, a 26-year employee at West Tennessee Healthcare, works in Radiation Oncology at the Kirkland Cancer Center, is viewed as someone who is, according to a press release, “extremely kind and caring with his patients.”

Continuing, “Fred spends times listening to them while offering words of comfort – never making them feel pushed.

“He definitely makes their journey at the Kirkland Cancer Center easier. His attitude is always sincere and he strives to be positive all the time.”

“That’s the reason the patients – who return for a follow up visit at the Kirkland Cancer Center – always ask to see Fred, so they can simply say, ‘Hi.'”
