Parker began initial planning for the Strada Patient Care Center early in 2014. By January of 2015, the project began construction.
During the course of construction, Parker passed away from cancer, and Patrick Duke took over as project manager.
Duke said that since Parker had always commented on the need for a flagpole at the Strada Patient Care Center, it was appropriate to dedicate the flagpole in his memory.
“I am honored to have worked with Paul Parker on the construction of the Strada Patient Care Center," Duke said. "Paul was a man of character who will be missed by the entire community, and the flagpole is a wonderful way to honor him.”
Duke and his wife Amy donated the flagpole at the Strada Patient Care Center to recognize the contribution made by Parker and the lasting, positive impact he made on those he met.
