At the October 4th groundbreaking for the new Tangier Island Health Center, Julien and Terri Patterson presented a check for $50,000 to Tangier Island Health Foundation Chairman Jimmie Carter and Dr. David Nichols. The Pattersons are residents of Oakton and Irvington, Virginia and have been following fundraising progress for the new facility from its inception in early 2007. "With this gift,” Patterson said, “ Terri and I wanted to make a significant contribution that will kick off the next stage of fundraising for this important project, enabling the Foundation to maintain the building and its equipment for years to come.”
