August “Gus” Roty, Jr., MD, was an influential surgeon, great teacher and esteemed colleague. Even more than that, he truly knew how to care for people. The devotion he showed to his patients and the way in which he treated them with dignity showed his warm and loving nature. In November, 2006, Borgess Medical Center officially dedicated the “August R. Roty, Jr. MD Outpatient Surgery Center.” The dedication was made possible through generous contributions to the Borgess Foundation’s Habitat for Healing Campaign made in Dr. Roty’s memory.
