Caring for our homeless

At New River Valley Medical Center Emergency Department, a frequent patient who is homeless, came to the ED for a laceration this past Sunday morning. Dr. Keel Coleman was the ED physician on duty that morning. We are all fond of this aging homeless gentleman and he is always kind and good spirited. Dr. Coleman went to the cafeteria and bought this patient a hearty breakfast for him to have, knowing that it was probably the first hot meal he has had in quite some time. This patient was extremely grateful to Dr. Coleman as was all of the staff. 

Thank you, Dr. Coleman, for your empathy and for your kind heartedness! We really appreciate all that you do!
