“In his four decades of medical practice, Dr. Woolery has left a lasting impression on his patients and staff, knowing them personally and treating them with kindness and compassion,” he said. “He raised his family here and has served in numerous leadership positions in Sedalia and is dedicated to community growth. We’re pleased to honor him as he embarks on a well-deserved retirement.”
