"Dr. Bob" Still a Big Part of Who We Try To Be at RCAM
RCAM Curbside Clinic
February 25, 2020 -This Friday, February 28, 2020 will mark the end of a grand era at Ralei gh Children & Adolescents Medicine. After 42 years, RCAM office manager Debbie Maness is retiring to become the ultimate grandmother. She Started as a Nurse; She Became our Office Manager Debbie came to us as a nurse in 1978 from the Rex Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. At that time, our office was known as “Fleming, Edwards, and Goldman” – our three founding pediatricians who could also be known as the “Mount Rushmore of RCAM”. After working at RCAM for about 10 years as a nurse, Dr. Fleming approached her about taking on a then newly created position: office manager. I am sure that when she agreed to take that position, she could not have possibly imagined the volume of challenges that would come her way. There was always something new, and that new charge always fell in some form on the office manager. Debbie successfully led RCAM over 4 decades as the practice of medicine changed dramatically. Throughout that time, she kept us on task, and she kept a good spirit. “Debbie Maness Week” RCAM therefore declares February 24 through 28 to be “Debbie Maness Week” and for it to be a time to celebrate Debbie’s 42 years of dedication, skill, and attitude. 1-Monday, February 24th – “Wear Your College Allegiance Day” Debbie loves the N.C. State Wolfpack – for better and for worse. She always pulls for her team, and-on Monday-we wore our college allegiance to work in her honor.
Alan Goldman, MD passed away late Friday night after battling an extended illness
