Coryell Health would like to recognize the passing of a brilliant leader and doctor, Dr. William Floyd.  Dr. Floyd practiced medicine in Gatesville for fifty-four years and played a key role in developing current day Coryell Health.  Until 1977, Dr. Floyd was one among only five physicians of the original Coryell Memorial Hospital on the corner of Lutterloh Ave. and Saunders St.  In 1973, when Coryell Memorial was in need of improvements and expansion to the facility, he served on the Campaign Advisory Committee. Dr. Floyd played an important part in the development, fundraising efforts to open Coryell Memorial Hospital on West Main, as well as being a key figure in opening Coryell Medical Clinic. He treated patients in the medical clinic and called on residents in RehabLiving at The Meadows throughout his career. Coryell is honored to have had a compassionate leader and loving doctor like Dr. Floyd as a part of our Coryell Health family; he was an exceptional member of our community and will be missed.
