SO PROUD OF OUR TEAM!

DR. PATEL COMPLETED A HALF MARATHON THIS PAST WEEKEND!!!

Even better is some of the team was able to make it to the city to show up for her and cheer from the sidelines. ✨

( shout out to Mikayla for the extremely motivational posters) 😂

Seriously though, there are seasons in life where simply showing up for yourself is hard. To watch someone continue pushing, growing, healing, and proving to themselves they can do difficult things… that’s inspiring in a way that’s hard to even explain.

Seeing her cross that finish line meant a lot to all of us.

Dr. Patel, we are beyond proud of you. 🏅 KEEP SHINING!

As the day comes to an end, we’re wishing a very Happy Birthday to Angela!! 🎉💜

We love her fun, bright (and purple!) personality!! She truly brings so much joy to the office.

If you’ve seen her around, drop a comment and give her a shout! She’s always there with a listening ear, and if you ever need a quick smile, stop by her office because she’s guaranteed to make you laugh.

Some of the best moments in a workplace happen outside of the office.

We spend our days caring for patients, supporting one another, solving problems together, and helping people feel comfortable when they walk through our doors. Evenings like this are a reminder that the relationships built here go beyond the schedule.

When a team genuinely enjoys being around each other, it shows in the way patients are welcomed, cared for, and remembered.
