Speaking with the Speaker

Good morning!

For today’s column, I’m pleased to share a video “Coffee Talk” I had recently with Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn. I thought it would be a nice follow-up to last week’s VC Notes that recapped the past legislative session

I think you’ll find our chat interesting and informative as we learn a little more about the Clintonian who is one of our state’s top elected officials, a long-time friend of the Medical Center and a former college football “player” (you’ll see in the video why that is in quotes). I think you’ll enjoy it when we share the learned experiences we each gained while working in restaurants during college.

Our relationship with state leaders is vital to the Medical Center’s economic and overall institutional health. These leaders are important partners in our quest to create A Healthier Mississippi. (Click image below to watch video in YouTube.)

Signed, Lou Ann Woodward, M.D.
