DOCTORS' CARE INSPIRES GIFT OF GRATITUDE

Andrea Micklem doesn't usually give to charity, but this year she found a reason.

Micklem decided to give to the Good Neighbors Fund in honor of Drs. Keene, Hardee, Agee and the rest of the staff at Valley OB/Gyn.

Andrea, 26 weeks pregnant and at risk of having her baby prematurely, must visit the office four or five times a week. She is thankful to the doctors for devoting so much time to her. She said the doctors are a unique, caring group, which is a great reassurance to her.

Andrea believes this group of doctors is a blessing to pregnant, at-risk women.

Andrea Micklem, with thanks to Drs. Keene, Hardee, Agee and staff
