Mayor Recovering, Thanks Community for Support

Anderson Mayor Terrence Roberts is recovering after a health scare in late June.

Mayor Roberts shared an update on his progress today:

I would like to thank the citizens of Anderson as well as my family and friends for their prayers and support over the past week.  

Last Sunday, I was taken to AnMed and transported to Greenville Memorial where I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. On Thursday, the capable staff at Greenville Memorial Hospital successfully completed a minimally invasive procedure to insert a stint to repair the aneurism.  

I am blessed beyond belief for having not only survived such a serious incident but having done so with no significant long term consequences. Given the seriousness of this condition, I remain under the care of the staff at Greenville Memorial Hospital, primarily for precautionary measures.  

I am in contact with City Manager Linda McConnell and will ensure the business of the City of Anderson continues to move forward.  

I am truly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community during this past week. I couldn't be prouder to be associated with such a caring City and compassionate citizenry. I look forward to seeing everyone soon at Anderson's Thursday Night Block Party!
