Community Beneﬁt Garners ‘Business of the Year’ Honors Last fall, CTMC was named the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Gala. Gloria Merrell, chair of the Chamber’s Small Business Council, said CTMC was honored “as a ﬁxture in the community that provides millions of dollars each year in community beneﬁt and involvement that improves and enhances the overall health and well-being of our community in many ways.” “This award is a testament to the work that everyone on our sta , our physicians and our volunteers do each day to make a di erence in the lives of those we serve,” says Gary Jepson, CTMC President and CEO. “While we don’t do what we do for the accolades, per se, I have to admit that receiving such recognition helps to validate our mission to extend the healing ministry of Christ—and certainly provides an emotional charge to each of us to continue working even harder to do more."
