(January 27, 2017) – Today, sports car driver Memo Gidley returned to Halifax Health Medical Center of Daytona Beach to thank his orthopedic care team of physicians and nurses.

“I really appreciate all the work everybody did. Thank you so much,” Gidley said adding, “I am super happy to be closing this chapter of my life, but really appreciative.”
During today’s visit, Gidley personally thanked the staff of Halifax Health’s orthopedics unit and surgeons Mark White, MD; James Bryan, MD; Todd McCall, MD; and William Kuhn, MD.
