Antioch Medical Announces
Credentialing of Podiatric Assistants
Maynard Jackson Youth Foundation
& Morehouse
Announce Partnership
Members of the Maynard Jackson Youth Foundation
Phyllis Youmans, Office Manager and Dr. Lillian Williams congratulate LaTraya
Thomas, Heather Delgado, and Kristina Sturdivant.
Lillian L. Williams,
DPM, and Antioch
Medical Associates, locat
ed at 3840 Waters Avenue,
announce the credentialing
of three of their employees:
Heather Delgado, Kristina
Sturdivant, and LaTraya
Thomas.
These individuals
have met all requirements
set forth by the American
Society of Podiatric
Medical Assistants
(ASPMA), the national
accrediting body. Delgado,
Sturdivant and Thomas are
now clinically certified to
assist Dr. Williams in pro
viding foot care and med
ical treatment.
Podiatric Medicine is
a branch of the medical sci
ences concerned with the
diagnosis and treatment of
conditions affecting the
human foot, ankle, and
their governing and related
structures.
A DPM specializes in
the prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment of foot disor
ders, diseases and injuries.
The human foot is a com
plex structure containing
bones, muscles, nerves, lig
aments and bold vessels
and is designed for balance
and mobility.
Because the foot has
such a highly significant
interrelationship with the
rest of the body, it may be
the first area to show signs
of serious conditions such
as diabetes and heart dis
ease-two diseases clearly
documented as prevalent in
the Savannah community.
Antioch specializes in
diabetic foot care.
The Maynard Jackson
Youth Foundation and
Morehouse College have
announced their partnership
to mount a campaign to unite
ethics and leadership and to
train young people to become
leaders with a conscience.
Bound together through the
legacy of the Atlanta’s first
African American Mayor
Maynard Jackson, a
Morehouse alumnus, these
two organizations recognize
their mutual benefits in the
fields of education, training,
and leadership development.
Dr. Walter Earl Fluker,
executive director of the
Leadership Center at
Morehouse, and Brooke
Jackson Edmond, CEO and a
member of the Board of
Directors of the Maynard
Jackson Youth Foundation
and Mayor Jackson’s daugh
ter, have been catalysts for
this partnership.
“My father was a
Morehouse man from his
heart. He was dedicated to
this institution as well as to
the principals of ethical lead
ership. The abiding desire to
carry on his legacy led me to
Dr. Fluker’s door a few
months ago. Our vision for
the MJYF is to edify funda
mental values and life skills,
encourage moral commit
ments and develop the ability
to engage in ethical reason
ing.”
“The forces of money,
power, and technology are on
a collision course with the
fragile traditions of character,
civility and community. This
is dangerous territory,” says
Dr. Fluker. “Who will train a
new generation of coura
geous, globally connected,
ethically centered leaders.
Enter the Leadership Center
at Morehouse,” he added.
The Maynard Jackson
Youth Foundation, a Georgia
non-profit organization, was
founded by Mayor Maynard
Jackson in 1992 to teach
leadership skills to young
people. John Holley, the
foundation president and
Valerie Jackson, Mayor
Jackson’s widow and the
Chair of the Board of the
Foundation, have been
responsible for many compo
nents of the programs includ
ing leadership training. In
October, the MJYF
Leadership Academy began
its 18th Leadership Academy
class of 11th grade high
school students from Atlanta
Public Schools and the first
class from high schools locat
ed in South Fulton County.
Students are selected by their
high school counselors to
participate in the academy for
one year.
