Preston Hammock was born at Wesley Long Hospital, grew up in GSO, and went to Northwest Guilford High School. During a routine physical, his pediatrician found a heart murmur. Preston had a hole in his heart, a very common birth defect typically discovered earlier in life. He needed open heart surgery.
That six-day stay at UNC Hospital captured his imagination – and inspired him to pursue a career in the medical field. #MadeinGSO #soGSO
