Please join us in congratulating Dr. John Turley on his retirement, as today is his last day at KCEAA after almost 19 years. Dr. Turley has served KCEAA in so many ways over the years, from medical direction for our field personnel to his latest role as physician in our employee clinic. We are lucky to have had him on our team, and while this is a huge loss for us, we are happy for him to start his next chapter. Good luck, Dr. Turley!
