Leader Retires After 21 Years
Hattiesburg Clinic would like to offer gratitude and best wishes to Lawrence J. Leader, DO, FACC, who has retired after 21 years of service with Hattiesburg Clinic Heart & Vascular.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have practiced in this community and, especially, being part of Hattiesburg Clinic. I have been fortunate to work alongside an exceptional group of physicians and partners—outstanding clinicians and people guided by strong ethics, professionalism and commitment to our patients. I would trust each of you to care for me or someone I love, and that is one of the things I will value most about my time here,” Dr. Leader said.
Throughout his career, Leader has worked in satellite clinics and communities throughout Mississippi. “Getting to know these communities and providing cardiac care to patients who might otherwise have had difficulty accessing a cardiologist has been one of the most reward aspects of my career,” Leader said.
Leader has been committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those he served. His dedication and genuine care for his patients have left a lasting impact that will be remembered by many. While Leader looks forward to the next chapter, leaving this practice and the people who have been such an important part of his life will be bittersweet.
“Thank you for making these years so rewarding. I leave with deep gratitude for the friendships and experiences, and I have great confidence in the future of Hattiesburg Clinic and its cardiology group,” Leader said.
Please join us in recognizing Leader for his many years of service at Hattiesburg Clinic and wishing him well in his retirement.
Thank you, Dr. Leader!
