Johnny Toler becomes new Head of Purchasing Department.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

The Mountain East Medical Center is sad to announce the resignation of Bob Wilkinson, head of the purchasing department, effective immediately.

Wilkinson was a 1972 graduate of the state university’s school of hospital administration. He came to Mountain East Medical Center in 1975 after working for a small rural community hospital as purchasing chief. He will take a job as a purchasing agent with City Memorial Hospital.

Wilkinson will be replaced by the assistant head of the department, Johnny Toler, who has been with the hospital for 13 years. His background is in pharmacy. He began as an assistant druggist in the hospital pharmacy 13 years ago and was moved to the purchasing department in 1978 as an assistant after the hospital pharmacy closed.

“This hospital means a great deal to me and my family and I will give my best efforts to making our purchasing department the best. I learned from a fine man – Bob Wilkinson – and I hope I can continue to build on the foundation he established,” said Toler.

“Bob’s abilities will be greatly missed at this hospital, but I know that Johnny Toler is a person we can all depend on to do whatever is necessary to keep his department going. I have great faith in him and in this hospital,” said Harry Illscott, hospital administrator.

For more than 50 years, Mountain East Medical Center has been committed to those who seek our care. We’ve become known for the expert, compassionate, individualized attention given to the people who have already passed through our doors, and the new patients who visit us each year. Next time you're in need, stop on by.
