On the passing of Dr. Hughes Melton

Emergency physicians across Virginia send our condolences to the families and friends of Hailey Green of Staunton and Dr. Hughes Melton.

In his role as Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Services, Dr. Melton was instrumental in his efforts to ensure adults and children with behavioral health and developmental disabilities receive the compassionate care they require.

As a physician, Dr. Melton was the definition of a leader, teacher, healer, and friend.

Our thoughts are with all those who knew Hailey Green and her family and Dr. Melton, his wife, and daughters.
