  âIt was scary. When I told my wife, she looked at me like I was crazy. We
 had five daughters to raise.â â Dr. Kenneth Williams on his decision to buy
                                a hospital.


Doctor buys hospital to aid rural health

   HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. (UMNS) â A doctor with a remarkable family tradition at
   Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn., credits the United

   care in a poor Mississippi rural community. Dr. Kenneth Williams' dedication
   is so profound that he bought a much-needed hospital for his rural patients.
   This is the fifth of a [19]six-part series on Meharry Medical College and
   its efforts to end health disparities among ethnic groups.
