DR. HANDE LEAVING MINNIE HAMILTON

(07/30/2010)
Minnie Hamilton Health System announces that Dr. Vishwanath Hande is moving on after providing fourteen years of dedicated service to the community not only as a physician, but as the facility's chief of medical staff.

"My departure brings me great regret because of the excellent people and staff I have worked with over the years. It was a very hard decision for me but I felt I needed to relocate for family reasons," he said.

Dr. Hande and his family will live in North Carolina.

Hande said, "I hope that the patients and staff in my new location reflect the qualities of the people of Grantsville, West Virginia." "Dr. Hande was a godsend to our community as we transitioned Calhoun General Hospital and Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center into Minnie Hamilton Health System. We have appreciated the quality and dedication to care that he has exhibited. Dr. Hande will be missed," reflected Barbara Lay, CEO. "We wish him all the best in all his future endeavors and would love to see him return to the mountains of West Virginia."

Minnie Hamilton Health System continues to provide quality care to all patients in its service area. To make an appointment with any of Minnie Hamilton's providers, call 304-354-9244.
