In Memory - Dr. Bill Williams, Jr.

Life Matters Newsletter - Spring / Summer 2021

Dr. Williams, a valued former physician at HPCCR, passed away in March at age 73. One of his most important contributions was leading our Kids Path pediatric specialty care program where he helped our young patients, and their families, with compassion and through his invaluable expertise.

Dr. Williams completed residencies at UVA Medical Center and Charlotte Memorial Hospital in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. Children and families were dear to his heart, demonstrated by his founding of the Davidson Clinic in 1978 where he cared for countless families. He also served as Chief Medical Officer of Carolinas Medical Center (now Atrium). While presiding as Chair of the National Board of Medical Examiners, he influenced medical professionals all over the world.

Dr. Williams was devoted to his community, profession, patients, and public health. He positively influenced many people during his tenure here from mentoring staff to caring for young people and their families. We feel fortunate to have been a part of his life and will continue to miss him dearly.
