Platinum level sponsor, Sholes Center for Women's Health, is an OB-GYN practice located in Athens, Georgia.  Founder, Dr. Thomas Taylor Sholes MD, is a third generation OBGYN.  Before he was born, his grandfather and dad had been delivering babies for over 70 years in East Tennessee and North Georgia. The goal of Sholes Center for Women's Health is to provide individualized care in a compassionate environment using the latest technology. We are fortunate to have Dr. Sholes and his family - wife Emily, daughters Caroline (1st) and Susanna (K) - as members of our Westminster family.  It is an honor to partner with them and we deeply appreciate their investment in our community.  Please take any opportunity you have to show your appreciation to this Platinum Level Corporate Partner and the Sholes family!
