PUTNAM — Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) held a dedication ceremony at the hospital recently to honor medical director of employee health services, Dr. David Wilterdink.
The hospital’s administration elected to name the employee health services department after longtime family medicine physician, Dr. Wilterdink, in recognition of his 36 years of active service for the medical division of DKH, his time as Employee Health Medical Director, and in commemoration of DKH’s 125th anniversary.
“The high-quality, family-centered care Dr. Wilterdink provides to his patients, and the medical leadership and management of employee health services has demonstrated his dedication to our community throughout his career,” said Joseph Adiletta, interim president, Day Kimball Healthcare.
