After 35 years of service to the community, oncologist Eugene P. Reese Jr., MD, has retired. The Kirkland Center held a celebration for him in April.
Dr. Reese was the first board certified sub-specialist in Hematology and Oncology to join Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and the Jackson Clinic and is recognized as one of two physicians who helped develop the Oncology program in Jackson. He made the decision to retire from his full time practice at the hospital in April 2010 but continued to follow his patients at the Jackson Clinic, PA. The Kirkland Cancer Center was privileged to have Dr. Reese and his partners integrate their practice in February 2014.
Dr. Reese has had several medical staff appointments through his career and his work has been recognized locally and nationally including being selected as one of America’s Top Physicians and one of America’s Top Oncologists several times. He was most recently honored as the West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation’s-Jackson Award Recipient for Health Care 2013.
When asked about his service as a physician, Dr. Reese said that he always thought that the patient’s fight with cancer was his fight too.
