Third and fourth-year medical students training at our MUSC AnMed Clinical Campus learn from outstanding faculty members like Dr. William Reese, a board-certified anesthesiologist. Dr. Reese was recently honored with the SAGE Teaching Award, which recognizes faculty who are wise, intelligent, fair-minded and care deeply about relationships with others while helping make difficult ideas easier to understand.

He was nominated by students for his dedication to teaching and for consistently going above and beyond. Dr. Renee Monaghan, campus dean, presented him the award recently.

Dr. Reese provides extensive reading resources and valuable hands-on experience, and he even uses his breaks throughout the day to deliver lectures on important topics. He offers thoughtful guidance on ethics, career development and often-overlooked aspects of daily medical practice. He is a great role model for bedside manner and patient-centered care.

Following up on a patient after several missed appointments, Courtney was informed that the patient had trouble securing transportation. The teammate at Piedmont Health Partners arranged for transportation, waited on the patient at the office building with a wheelchair, and then attended the appointment with the patient in case she had questions.

Courtney also realized the patient’s oxygen tank was going to run out before the end of the visit, so she reached out to our Respiratory department so that someone could bring a tank to that office. She then arranged for transportation back home and followed up with the patient the next day. Once she realized the patient could not get her medications or turn in a necessary specimen sample, Courtney then went to pharmacy to pick up the medication, delivered it to the patient while picking up the sample and then took it to the lab.

The care made sure the patient wouldn’t have a possible readmission or Emergency Department visit. Along with Kendall of our Pharmacy and Linda of our 5 North wing at AnMed Medical Center, she’s been named one of our .

Kendall spent hours researching and working on pain-control options for a patient who was diagnosed with a very unique syndrome. She worked with doctors, other pharmacy teammates, the patient and his wife to ensure their needs were met. She went above and beyond for patient-centered care.

Linda recently touched a widow with compassion, dedicated care, kindness and advocacy during her husband’s stay. The woman felt Linda treated them like family, and she cherished prayer with Linda by her side. Linda added love and grace to the very difficult time.

Our Story

AnMed Health Cannon in Pickens, SC, is the result of a country doctor’s dream to bring medical care to the people of Pickens County. Beginning more than 50 years ago as a three-room clinic, AnMed Health Cannon today is a modern, high-tech facility where patients not only receive the best medical care, but also individual care, attention, and genuine concern that is so often overlooked in today’s health care arena. Dr. E. Gaine Cannon founded the first Cannon Memorial Hospital located on Pendleton Street and named it as a memorial to his father Dr. James Cannon. In 1949 the hospital grew to an 88-bed facility and was sold to community leaders who formed a non-profit organization. In 1982 a new hospital was built at its current location on W.G Acker Drive, and because of the growth of the community, the Outpatient Services building was added in 1991. Today, AnMed Health Cannon is a 55-bed facility with staff physicians who specialize in such areas as orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery, and rehab services. The hospital also added medical practices including family practices locations, surgical and orthopedics. Today, our hospital offers a full range of state-of-the-art medical technology, equipment, and services to meet the health care needs of the community. The expanded services of today’s hospital include a 24-hour Emergency Department, a full service laboratory, on site CT and MRI , physical therapy, critical care unit, sleep clinic, wellness programs for both children and adults, and diagnostic imaging for both inpatient and outpatient. We sponsor health fairs, flu clinics, CPR training, fitness classes, support groups, and many other community wellness services through our Wellness Center located at the hospital. In 2009, AnMed Health Cannon signed a partnership agreement with AnMed Health in Anderson, SC, to create a new healthcare network. The partnership became complete in 2016 when Cannon Memorial Hospital changed its name to AnMed Health Cannon. This agreement allows Cannon the opportunity to enhance patient care services and lower cost through economies of scale. The affiliation was intended to prepare our community hospital for the changes that will occur in the future with the healthcare delivery system. Click here to learn more about the services offered at AnMed Health – http://www.anmedhealth.org/ AnMed Health Cannon is built on a firm foundation of rich history, a vision for advanced health care and genuine compassion for the people of this community and will be able to enhance this tradition with our affiliation with AnMed Health.
