Congratulations to Akshar Patel (pictured, right, with Dr. Meadows), the recipient of the 2019 Meadows Surgical Arts Surgical Hope Foundation Scholarship for Stephens County High School!

The Surgical Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides outpatient surgical services at no cost to those in need. Founded by Dr. Lionel Meadows and his wife, Kathryn Meadows, RN, BSN, the Surgical Hope Foundation gives many patients the opportunity to fulfill their medical needs without the added burden of finances.

Each year, Dr. & Mrs. Meadows offer a scholarship to graduating seniors from local high schools to help fund their college endeavors. Each student must complete an essay describing their aspirations and goals in pursuing a medical career.

We would like to congratulate Mr. Patel on his achievements, and wish him the very best in his future scholastic and career endeavors.
