Wyman and Callie Wise live in North Myrtle Beach where they each own a State Farm Insurance Agency. It's a home with a little competition to say the least, but with a heart focused on the same goal — to increase the quality of life in their local community. As State Farm agents, they believe in giving back to local philanthropic organizations that make their community a better place to live.

Wyman, originally from Florence, South Carolina, grew up in a family who trusted McLeod Health with all of their healthcare needs. In fact, his mother, father and Wyman himself relied on the care of the late Dr. Conyers O'Bryan.

Callie who grew up in Gibsonville, North Carolina, has always had a heart to serve. She is dedicated to the work of the McLeod Health Foundation and assists with several fundraising events and projects. Callie is also a graduate of the McLeod Fellows program and has been a volunteer with McLeod Loris and McLeod Seacoast since 2009.

Understanding the need for excellence in healthcare, Wyman and Callie recently made a gift of life insurance to the McLeod Health Foundation. Their generosity will help ensure quality healthcare is available for future generations. Additionally, the couple's gift includes them in the Dr. F. H. McLeod Legacy Society.

The Dr. F. H. McLeod Legacy Society recognizes friends and benefactors who have established endowments and/or included McLeod Health Foundation in their will, trust and/or estate plans. The society honors those generous members who want to ensure the continuity of excellent and compassionate care through McLeod Health. Members of the Dr. F. H. McLeod Legacy Society are not only an integral part of McLeod's present, but are the keys to its future.

Wyman and Callie's motto embodies that of a Dr. F. H. McLeod Legacy Society member — "I work here, I live here and I give here because I want my local community to be the best it can be now and in the future."

Legacy Society membership includes induction during the annual Dr. F. H. McLeod Legacy Society Reception and Dinner held each January. New members are honored with a special membership gift in recognition for their leadership and generosity. They are also recognized at the bi-annual Founders Garden Party.
