with Wesley Long
Since we opened our doors nearly 75 years
ago, Wesley Long Community Hospital has
worked hard to provide personal attention
for each of our patients.
Founder John Wesley Long, M.D.,
believed that medical treatment could
be as varied as the individual. Dr. Long
helped to instill the sense of compassion and respect that exists at
Wesley Long today.
In Touch, our new quarterly publication, is part of our commitment to individual care. Just as we must stay abreast
of advances in medical technology, so
must we also keep pace with the changing needs of our patients. This newsletter will help us keep in touch with you
— so we may serve you even better.
We hope you'll stay in touch with us,
too. If you have a comment or recommendation about any of our services,
or a health idea you'd like to see
covered in a future issue of In Touch,
please let us know. You can write to
us at 501 N. Elam Avenue, Greensboro,
NC 27402, or call us at 854-6408.
