Hospital gets new head of purchasing department

Mountain East Medical Center’s Johnny Toler has been promoted to head of the purchasing department.
Toler has filled the position, which was previously filled by Bob Wilkinson, who had been with the company since 1975. Wilkinson will be taking a job with City Memorial Hospital.
“This hospital means a great deal to me and my family, and I will give my best efforts to making our purchasing department the best,” says Toler. “I learned from a fine man-Bob Wilkinson- and I hope I can continue to build on the foundation he established.”
Toler, who has a background in pharmacy, has been with MEMC for over 13 years and previously held the position of assistant head of the department. Toler’s wife, Carolyn, is head of the department of gynecology at Mountain East Medical Center.
“Johnny Toler is a person we can all depend on to do whatever is necessary to keep this department going,” says hospital administrator Harry Illscott. “I have great faith in him and in this hospital.”
