Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Today we celebrate the people who help to keep our busy clinic running, from our call center and reception staff to our facilities staff to our department and site managers.

Many people don’t realize that not all healthcare workers wear scrubs or a stethoscope. They can also be at reception desks, on phones, behind computers, managing schedules, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Thank you to our administrative team for the countless ways you make a difference every single day!

¡Feliz Día de los Profesionales Administrativos! Hoy celebramos a las personas que ayudan a mantener en funcionamiento nuestra ajetreada clínica: desde el personal de nuestro centro de llamadas y recepción hasta el equipo de mantenimiento de las instalaciones, pasando por los gerentes de departamento y de sede.

Muchas personas no se dan cuenta de que no todos los trabajadores de la salud visten uniformes médicos ni llevan estetoscopio. También pueden encontrarse en los mostradores de recepción, atendiendo el teléfono, trabajando frente a las computadoras, gestionando agendas y asegurándose de que todo funcione a la perfección.

¡Gracias a nuestro equipo administrativo por las innumerables formas en que marcan la diferencia cada día!

Water is essential to good health. Are you getting enough?

This month's wellness challenge is to drink at least 64 ounces of water, 5 days a week. MCC's Registered Dietitian Susie suggests adding fruit, veggies or herbs for added flavor and fun. Drink up and stay hydrated!
