MACOMB McDonough District Hospital has written a tribute to Dr. Donald Dexter, who died recently at age 92. He was one of the original physicians at the hospital when it opened in 1958.
After retiring from his medical practice in 1989, Dr. Dexter became one of the longest-serving members on the MDH Board of Directors. He served from 1995 to 2011 and was a past chairman. He served as board chairman during the hospital s 50th anniversary in 2008. Everything you hear about Dr. Dexter is just stellar, said Hospital President Brian Dietz.
Dexter was also deeply involved with Western Illinois University. He was on the faculty in the Department of Health Sciences and served as team physician for WIU Athletics. Dexter later served as chief of staff at WIU s Beu Health Center.
