Your gift to the Anthony Center for Graduate Medical Education is helping attract and train doctors

The Anthony Center for Graduate Medical Education is where medical knowledge transforms into clinical excellence. You support high-quality residency education in Lorain County with your gift. Because of you, more physicians will deliver exceptional, patient-centered care right here for years to come.

Dr. Tamer Said shares “Our region needs more family physicians. Launching our hospital’s first Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education is an exciting milestone. It reflects a shared commitment to the future of healthcare in our community.”

According to Associate Program Director Dr. Deon K Regis, one of the strongest predictors of where physicians ultimately practice is where they complete their training.

“By training physicians here in Lorain County, they become connected to our community. They build relationships. Many residents choose to remain because they develop a genuine sense of belonging,” he says.

The result is improved access to care for future generations. Your support is a vital piece of the puzzle. An effective and robust residency program needs a shared vision. The health care system, hospital leadership, faculty, community partners and donors all must work together to deliver the highest quality graduate medical education possible.

“Thank you for believing in the future of health care. Your support allows us to enhance hands-on learning, innovation, wellness and community engagement beyond what traditional funding can provide,” says Dr. Regis. “Every gift strengthens the ministry and the education of our residents. That, in turn, translates into better care for every patient served.”
