He has organized a free medical clinic in his community, the Good Samaritan Clinic, and serves as its Director.  He is very active in his church and local schools (sports medicine for 2 high schools, educational speaker in many schools).  He is medical director for the Senior Citizens' Day Care in Chester and medical advisor for the Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program.  Dr. Stone is also involved in the Chester County Cancer Society and has been a board member in the Senior Citizens' Program.  A graduate of Clemson University, Dr. Stone has been a Clemson Stadium Pysician for the last 20 years!  He also is the coordinator/program chair of the Clemson Alumni Physicians (CAPS) and plans the continuing medical education program each year.
