GHHS and Wellness Council collecting book donations

The late Cindy Sheets, M.D.
The Gold Humanism Honor Society and the Wellness Council are collecting donations for the Reach Out and Read Program in memory of the late Cindy Sheets, M.D., a beloved pediatrician who served in various roles at USA Health and the Whiddon College of Medicine.  

Donations can be made by giving to the Dr. Cindy S. Sheets Endowment for Early Literacy, or by purchasing books on the designated Amazon wish list. These books are approved for distribution in USA Health clinics and will be shipped directly to the USA Health Department of Pediatrics. 

The groups are partnering to host an Art of Medicine event on Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. at the MacQueen Alumni Center Grand Ballroom. This is an opportunity for medical students and residents to display their artistic talents to an audience of their peers and faculty mentors. Art may include musical talents, poetry, paintings and more. Light refreshments will be served. 

To RSVP for the event and/or sign up to contribute artwork, fill out the Google form by Friday, Nov. 10.
