Dr. Bennie Wright was honored with the dedication of the GI Suite in his name.

Bolivar Medical Center proudly announces the dedication of its Gastrointestinal (G.I.) Suite to Dr. Bennie Wright, honoring his more than four decades of exceptional service to the Cleveland community and surrounding areas.

A special ceremony was held at Bolivar Medical Center to commemorate Dr. Wright’s legacy and ongoing contributions to patient care. The newly named Dr. Bennie Wright G.I. Suite recognizes his unmatched commitment, surgical excellence, and compassionate care that have defined his career.

“Dr. Wright has performed more scopes than any other physician across our entire company which spans nationwide,” said Jimmy Young, CEO of Bolivar Medical Center. “His dedication to this hospital and to the people of this region is extraordinary. Naming the G.I. Suite in his honor is a small way to recognize the enormous impact he’s had on our patients and our team.”

JoAnn McCollum, Chief Nursing Officer at Bolivar Medical Center, shared a touching story that highlights the full-circle nature of Dr. Wright’s career:

“Dr. Wright’s very first surgery at Bolivar Medical Center was a gallbladder removal on August 1, 1984. Fittingly, his final surgery here was also a gallbladder removal. It’s a beautiful reflection of his lifelong commitment to healing and service.”

Although stepping back from full-time surgery, Dr. Wright will continue serving the community by performing scopes in the newly dedicated G.I. Suite, ensuring patients continue to benefit from his expertise and care.

Bolivar Medical Center extends its deepest gratitude to Dr. Wright for his unwavering dedication and looks forward to many more years of partnership in advancing healthcare in the Delta.
