Palms Pediatrics will be dedicated to DeWayne Yates

By Carrie A. Mizell

The community DeWayne Yates loved and called home celebrated his memory on Thursday afternoon beginning at 5 with a dedication ceremony at Palms Pediatrics.
DeWayne Yates passed away in February following a lengthy battle with cancer.
A Trenton native who was very active in the community, Yates was the CEO of Trenton Medical Center Inc., which is now known as Palms Medical Group.
In a statement released last week, Eileen Senecal, vice president of development and outreach at Palms Medical Group, called Yates a visionary.
“His vision was for Palms Medical Group to be the model at improving the wellness for all residents of our community through an intense focus on the person as a whole; mentally, physically and socially,” Senecal said.
“We ask that you join the Palms Medical Group family in the dedication of Palms Pediatrics, honoring our ‘gone, but never forgotten,’ leader!”
Palms Pediatrics is located at 911 S. Main Street in Trenton.
