“Our friend has always described himself as a ‘country doctor,” and if that describes a caring physician who has a sincere concern for his patients, then I agree with this title.” - Kay Grafe, author of Oh My Gosh, Virginia
Dayton Whites has mended bones, delivered babies, tended to the sick and lonely, and seen just about everthing a man can see who has committed himself to the heath and well-being of the families of a rural Mississippi community. Along with his wife Susanne and his family, Dr. Whites has walked alongside the people of Lucedale, Mississippi for decades, helping not only the people, but the city itself, to be healthy and happy.
These pages tell the stories that few people before now have known. They show the triumph and the heartache, the struggles, the laughter, and the satisfaction of life in a country town, through the eyes of its beloved hometown doctor.
As Today in Mississippi recently observed, “every small town needs a Dr. Whites.”
