News 5 WKRG in Leaskesville, MS covered the ribbon cutting for the Stanford Clinic, a new DPC clinic in this rural area. Casey Stanford, MD recently finished his residency at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg after completing medical school at University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. This is busy time for he and his wife Hannah, who is a nurse. The couple moved to the the area with their 22- month, had their second child in June and opened their practice in July. The couple always felt called to small-town medicine, a dream validated when Dr. Stanford was accepted to the Rural Physicians Scholarship Program — a state initiative to recruit medical students to combat physician shortages in towns with fewer than 20,000 people.
I wanted to live in a small town. They wouldn’t have had to pay me to do it, but they did anyway. We were thankful for that… and the building was a perfect fit with the right layout already. We’re glad to be here. This is our mission field.
Outside of work, Dr. Stanford serves on his church’s worship team playing violin, cello, saxophone, and trumpet. He is excited to return to Greene County with his family to serve the community that formed and shaped so much of his young life, where he grew up working with cattle and farming on his family’s homestead.
