Dr. Ivan Mefford was presented the 2019 Jeff Council Award at the hospital’s annual fundraiser, Patchwork of Life. The Jeff Council Award was created in 2018 to honor Jeff Council for his years of service to OakBend Medical Center, which spanned more than three decades. Jeff personified OakBend’s core values of Compassion, Integrity, Ownership and Excellence. Dr. Mefford also exemplifies these traits and was presented with the award by OakBend CEO Joe Freudenberger.
“Jeff has been a friend for over 20 years, and I am honored to receive an award named after him,” Mefford said. The Jeff Council award will be given annually to an individual who gives back to the hospital in many different ways.
