Our summer intern finished up yesterday! She came in here timid, nervous and shy! She left confident, relaxed and so outgoing! The patients loved her! Ella, I’m so proud of you! You worked more than I asked! You stepped out of your comfort zone and you excelled! I loved watching you grow this summer and taking on your first job! Keep working hard and dreaming BIG! We’re all here supporting you! ❤️

Please help me in congratulating Peggy on her retirement after 23+ years! Peggy is the doer of ALL things! She will figure it, she will get it done and she will do it while smiling! I’m convinced, everyone needs a “Peggy”! Grateful does not even begin to describe it! She’s been my right hand for 17+ years. She will shovel snow in heels, climb in and out of the attic and stand on chairs to help me change light bulbs! She is also the first to remind us to have grace. When a patient walks through our door, we never know what they might be going through that day! She’s a smile in the morning and cheerful “drive safe” at the end of the day! Peggy, thank you for EVERYTHING!!! We will all miss you! ❤️ Congratulations to you! Enjoy your beautiful family!

From 3 of my OG’s down to 2! Please help me is wishing Julie all the joy and best years ahead in retirement! These girls will never understand the appreciation I have for each one of them! For 17+ years they have been right by my side in business, in life and in friendship! My little 25 year old self was so naive on day 1. They’ve led the way for years! I could have never gotten this far without them! Julie, thank you for ALL of the laughter, love and support! I will most certainly miss you, but I’m grateful for so many years of working by your side! Cheers to you and your family! Thank YOU!!! 🎉❤️

My days with this crew are winding down. It’s crazy to think that for almost 17 years I had the same staff that I started with on Day 1! I always knew retirement for them would come long before my own and here we are! To say I’ve had and still have an amazing staff would be an understatement! I would truly never be where I am without them! My ❤️ is full and grateful!
