We are deeply grateful to Priscilla Caraway and Kevin Anderson for their generous $10,000 gift to the WinnMed Foundation to name a patient care room in WinnMed’s new clinic in loving memory of Marlin and Syvilla Bolson.

Marlin was a beloved member of the “Table of Knowledge” lunch bunch — a group that brightened our WinnMed cafeteria with laughter, conversation, and community spirit. ✨💙✨

This meaningful gift is a beautiful tribute to the Bolsons’ lasting connection to WinnMed and to the care and camaraderie that define our community!
