Dr. Randall Mullin Retires

Dr. Randy Mullin retired in July from UnityPoint Clinic at Hammond-Henry Hospital in Geneseo.

 

His retirement came after celebrating his 40th year of practicing medicine in Geneseo. Dr. Mullin's decision to practice here came as he neared the completion of his residency in Boston, Massachusetts.

 

He said he had always planned to return to his hometown of Manlius to practice medicine, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. "Don Ford (who also recently retired from practice at Hammond-Henry) and I were working together in Boston, and he approached me and suggested we go in practice together," Mullin said.  "We both knew back then that we wanted to do OB and we narrowed our choices to Princeton and Geneseo, and we chose to come to Geneseo."
