Retirement Reception Held For Former Pediatrics Practice Director

Bill Brainerd, former practice director for the department of pediatrics at the University of South Alabama, opens a gift during his retirement reception held on April 13, 2011. Brainerd retired this month after more than 16 years of service.

"Throughout my 16 years with USA, I have had the privilege of working with truly outstanding faculty, staff and administrators," Brainerd said. "Serving as practice director for the departments of OB/GYN, medical genetics and pediatrics enabled me to see, firsthand, the excellent care and compassion that our faculty and staff provide to patients and families who are dealing with very difficult healthcare issues."

"I will certainly miss working with the Health Services Foundation management team," he added. "Over the years, we often faced seemingly overwhelming obstacles, which were overcome only through the leadership, dedication, talent and unity of this group."
