It's Trustee Tuesday! Mrs. Salli Thomason attended Bremen High School and graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor's of science in business accounting (BSBA). She also earned her juris doctor (JD) degree from Mississippi College School of Law. "I was raised in Bremen and am a third generation 'Bremenite.' I moved back in 2011 after my niece was born so I could fulfill my role as the cool aunt," she shared.

This is her first year as a member of the Tanner Medical Foundation Board of Trustees. "I am impressed with all the things the board has accomplished, and I want to contribute to Tanner’s ongoing success! Everyone in our region should be able to receive excellent health care from a local facility," she shared. ?? "All of the service lines are so important, but I’m particularly passionate about cancer treatment. One of my life-long best friends lost her 22-year-old son to a rare form of cancer in 2023. No family should have to suffer that type of loss," said Thomason. To learn more about how to support Tanner Cancer Care, please visit https://bit.ly/46FlLfE ?? "In 2017, my mother suddenly became very sick and had to have emergency abdominal surgery. The excellent physicians and health care team at Tanner Health saved her life. She received the best of care at every level of her long recovery. If she would have been transported to another hospital miles away, the outcome would have likely been devastating because time was of the essence. We are so very grateful for Tanner Health!" Thank you for your leadership, Salli! ?? #TannerMedicalFoundation #TannerHealth #BoardOfTrustees
