2023 LEGENDS OF HEALTHCARE
Mr. Wilbert Dillard
Wilbert ‘Bill’ Dillard has served the East Winston community for over 30 years. He was born in Winston-Salem and attended X-Ray school at Kate B. Reynolds Hospital. He went on to serve in the Navy during the Vietnam War and the US Marine Corps. He then began work at Providence Hospital in Washington, DC as an EKG technician.
Wilbert received his BS from Greensboro College in 1993 and decided to advance his education further and completed the
Physician Assistant (PA) program in 1995. He then began work with the now deceased, Dr. Charlie Kennedy and Dr. Pamela Dockery serving the East Winston community in Pediatrics. His lengthy dedication to the practice now known as ‘Winston East Pediatrics’ allowed the privilege of caring for multiple generations of families and in some cases, he provided care for the grandchildren of his first patients. Wilbert is quoted as saying upon his retirement “I’ve served this community, and even in retirement I will continue to serve this community.” Wilbert’s understanding of the importance of having strong mentors for future Physician Assistants leads him to remain active in the NC Academy of PA’s, the American Academy of PA’s, and precepting at Wake Forest. This service is honored by the presentation of the “Bill Dillard Excellence in Clinical Education Award” at Wake Forest University. Awards are granted to preceptors representing the same dedication and service to Wake Forest PA students.
