Remembering Randy Grimes, M.D.

Randy Grimes, M.D., passed away Tuesday, May 18, 2010. He had been a valued member of the WellStar Cardiovascular Medicine family since 2001. Dr. Grimes will be missed terribly by the entire WellStar family. He always felt the best part of being a doctor was “helping the willing find health.”
Dr. Grimes earned his Bachelor of Science degrees in molecular biology and physics. He received his medical degree from Emory University and his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech. While working toward obtaining his Ph.D., he completed his internal medicine residency at Morehouse School of Medicine. This was followed by a three-year cardiology fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School. He was board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology and was a fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

As one of our most inspirational physicians, Dr. Grimes completed multiple iron mans, marathons and was a master division swimmer. He married his medical school sweetheart and has three beautiful daughters. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
