David Ringer, MD, a family physician and CEO for nonprofit Oconee Valley Healthcare in Greensboro, received a Community Advocate Award at this year's State of the College address.

“He is a longtime supporter of MCG,” Hess said. “He is the old-style country doctor who does both inpatient and outpatient care. He sees patients in local nursing homes, rotates as a hospitalist. Someone I deeply admire.”

Ringer received a bachelor of science in biochemistry from the University of Georgia before graduating from MCG. He completed his residency at Anniston Family Practice at the University of Alabama and later received a business management certificate from John Hopkins University.

Ringer is board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, the American Board of Physician Executives, and the American Board of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Ringer owned Family Medical Associates of Lake Oconee for 22 years before joining his practice with what is now Oconee Valley Healthcare.
