Rock River Community Clinic (RRCC) has announced that Donald Williams, MD, will serve as the clinic’s next medical director.
Additionally, the announcement notes, he will provide primary care at the RRCC Whitewater Clinic several mornings each week.
According to information released by RRCC, Williams attended medical school at the University of Illinois and completed his residency and training in internal medicine and pediatrics at Akron Children’s Hospital and Medical Center and Akron General Medical Center in Ohio. He is board certified in both specialties and practiced at Fort HealthCare’s Internal Medicine and Pediatrics department for over 40 years, retiring in 2021.
“I am excited to use my experience in a way that brings much needed primary care options to our community. Reducing the barriers to medical care has always been near and dear to my heart. At RRCC, I will be able to do just that as we work to improve access to health care for everyone in our community,” Williams was quoted as saying in the announcement.
“Dr. Williams’ passion for primary care, collaboration with fellow providers, and devotion to patients is unmatched. His kindness and genuine concern for others allows him to provide medical care in a way that ensures patients feel heard, valued and respected, all very important pieces to our community health center model,” Olivia Nichols, CEO/executive director of RRCC stated in the announcement.
Williams joins fellow primary care providers Mary Beck Metzger, APNP, Whitewater and Jefferson clinics, and Cynthia Sepulveda, APNP, Watertown and Whitewater clinics, in providing primary care services at RRCC. Williams has assumed the role of RRCC medical director from Stephanie Nottestad, MD, of Fort HealthCare’s Cambridge Family Practice and Lake Mills clinic.
