Also notable, it was the first medical clinic with central air conditioning.

"We are thrilled to see another medical practice in Greenwood that specializes in a vital service," said John Pittman Hey, building manager and chief programmer at GMT Corporation. "Until VVIS's arrival we did not have anything local for specialty vein and vascular care. We have always wanted to be a part of providing great medical care and services to Greenwood and Leflore County at the Medical Arts Building. VVIS learned about the Medical Arts building through the work of Thomas Gregory, the Executive Director at Greenwood-Leflore-Carroll Economic Development Foundation, and Matt Weathersby, with Commercial Advisors out of Memphis, TN and we are so grateful for their assistance in bringing VVIS to Greenwood."
