Valerie, who works in our Home Health department, was caring for a patient in their home recently when she came to believe the patient had been assaulted by their roommate. She took accountability to intervene. She called the police and remained by the patient’s side to provide protection, support and comfort throughout the intense situation.

Separately Valerie bought and delivered groceries and medications for another patient who was without transportation.

Alongside Riley of our Pharmacy, Valerie has been named one of our .

Riley was helping provide care for a military veteran who was in the hospital on Veterans Day when she heard he became distraught that he would not back at his veterans nursing home in time for their special celebration. So she placed several orders to create a small tree decorated with U.S. Army ornaments for him. She helped make the man feel special and valued, and he was deeply appreciative of her kindness and consideration.

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.

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.
