Dr. Alex Wilson’s heart is set on improving the quality of care

Dr. William Alex Wilson, MD, talks with a patient at Adena Medical Center. Dr. Wilson wanted to be a high school marching band director for a long time but when his grandmother de ella would be diagnosed with breast cancer and through helping her with her treatment de ella, he decided to take a different route to help others.

CHILLICOTHE – He was a fun-loving kid, with a real talent for music. Well, really, little has changed – except his life’s mission.

“I was a jokester as a child and kept everyone laughing,” recalled Alex Wilson. “I was a storyteller but was serious and engaged at school. I wanted to be a high school marching band director for a long time and have written marching band shows as well as taught marching bands in the past.”

Then life took a turn.

“When I was 13,” he continued, “my grandmother was diagnosed with a breast cancer that she had known about and not told the family. It spread before we knew of her, and we moved in with her to take care of her during her treatment of her. This inspired me to help people enjoy the longest and best lives possible after diagnosis with cancer.”
