Kenneth A. Anderson, Apollo Beach, FL is featured on a billboard in Florida. Ken reports, "The marketing manager originally wanted a male surgeon to represent South Florida Baptist Hospital. However, the photo shoot had a time commitment of 3 hours with makeup prep and no surgeons were available. The marketing manager and the O.R. manager preferred a male senior figure, with a soft intelligent, compassionate look and someone well respected in the community! Actually, I was just walking by the O.R. manager's office and they asked me if I like to be on a bill board? A few months later, my picture is advertising on dozens of local business magazines, newspapers and, of course, a billboard."
