I am proud and happy to be assuming my new responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer at Doctors Medical Center. The town of Modesto and the staff of the hospital have made me and my wife feel so welcome in our short time here. I look forward to getting to know the community and its health care needs better in the months ahead. For over forty years, Doctors Medical Center has performed a valuable service to Modesto and the surrounding area, constantly growing to keep pace with the changing community. I have seen the high standards of quality and service that guide the hospital staff, and I can well understand why the people they serve have come to trust them for all their health care needs. Doctors Medical Center is your community hospital. Please feel free to communicate your thoughts and concerns to me, so we can continue to make it the kind of hospital you want and need. I promise you that we will make it our goal to surpass your expectations. Dennis Litos Chief Executive Officer
