Dr. Angela May is the Deputy Chief of Staff. She was previously the ACOS of Geriatrics and Extended Care/Physical Medicine Rehab Services. She served as the Medical Director of the Community

Living Center since 2007. Dr. May received a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Southern Adventist University and her Doctor of Medicine from the Quillen College of Medicine, East

Tennessee State University. She completed her residency and Chief Residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia Internal Medicine Program in Salem, Virginia. Dr. May is a

second-generation physician from a family committed to medical care in the area. She grew up making house calls and working in the medical office of her parents, both physicians who provided

needed medical care in this Appalachian area. Other physicians in the family included two brothers and several cousins in addition to her parents. In 2003 Dr. May had several patients on

active reserves who were called to the Iraqi War invasion. It was during this time, as many providers in the area were declining to care for active duty military who now had Tri-Care

insurance, that Dr. May felt led to accept a position at James H. Quillen VAMC where she could provide care to “he who shall have born the battle.” She remains committed to this mission both

in individual care for patients and in the development of healthcare solutions for population health.
