Charles A. Ball, MD, Medical Staff Giving Circle
In fall 2023, the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation established the Charles A. Ball, MD, Medical Staff Giving Circle, which provides an avenue for medical staff members to support projects and programs close to their hearts that improve the health of the community and organization.
A legacy of caring
Charles A. Ball, MD, had a profound impact on not only the thousands of patients he served, but also on the hospital he helped grow into the regional and national leader it is today. Dr. Ball joined the medical staff at Maury Regional Medical Center in 1979 — associating with Maury Regional Medical Group from 2002 until his retirement in 2020 — and was a consistent leader on the medical staff throughout his career.
During his tenure, Dr. Ball served as Maury Regional Health’s first chief medical officer and also as chief of staff, chief of family practice, chief of the medicine department and medical director. He was named the Family Physician of the Year in 2009 by the Tennessee Academy of Family Physicians and was recognized in 1995 as the Rural Physician of the Year by the Rural Health Association of Tennessee. In addition, Dr. Ball held numerous leadership positions in several committees and organizations, including the role of past president of the Tennessee Academy of Family Physicians, the Maury County Medical Society and the Rural Health Association of Tennessee.
The Medical Staff Giving Circle, named in Dr. Ball’s honor, allows medical staff members to support projects and programs that improve the health of the community, fellow employees and the organization. Members can choose where their gifts are used, whether that be capital projects for the medical center, staff scholarships or for existing Foundation programs and services.
"Dr. Ball dedicated his career to improving the lives of his patients and serving as a role model for physicians, nurses and staff members across Maury Regional Health. The Charles A. Ball, MD, Medical Staff Giving Circle honors his contributions of shaping health care in our region and will leave an indelible legacy by impacting the lives of those needing assistance for years to come."
— Jeffrey T. Adams, MD, orthopedic surgeon, Maury Regional Health board member and Founding member of the Medical Staff Giving Circle
