“I would like to acknowledge CCMS’ tireless work on behalf of the physicians and our patients here in Collier County,” said Dr. Jones. “I feel very blessed and privileged to have served this community for almost 30 years and cannot imagine doing it without being a CCMS member.”
Dr. Jones was nominated by Dr. James Talano, who commended Dr. Jones for his commitment to community service as founding member and Chairman of the Board of the Neighborhood Health Clinic. “He continues to volunteer for the organization providing free care for our indigent working population of Collier County,” said Dr. Talano. “Also, despite his heavy work load with hospital and patients, he continues to participate as a physician volunteer for high school sports, performing physical examination and as a physician volunteer for the Naples Gator football team. Dr. Jones gives his time relentlessly to our community, providing leadership and direction to many of the physicians in Collier County.”
“We are pleased to acknowledge those physicians who continue to give to their community their time and talents beyond the usual call of duty,” CCMS President Dr. Rafael Haciski commented. “Congratulations, Dr. Jones, and thank you for being a shining example to all our members who work to provide quality medical care in Collier County.”
