It's hard to believe it's been another year and another Employee Appreciation Holiday Dinner has come and gone. Our group has gone through more changes in the past few years than we did in the previous thirty. It's been challenging, but we are rolling with the changes adding new providers and new staff.
As part of our Appreciation Luncheon, we celebrate our employees with milestone anniversaries, some of us have been here for many, many years. We're hitting a time of transition with long time employees retiring. Dr Mahan retired earlier this year after 31 years with us. We were thrilled that she was able to join us at our luncheon. Dr Baldwin has been with us 36 years and looks forward to slowing down just a bit after the first of the year by not delivering babies anymore-he will continue to do surgeries and see gyn patients in the office. Dr Borden has also been with us over 30 years, she's not quite ready to retire, but has enjoyed being able to spend time with her family since she stopped delivering a couple of years ago. With only a mere 16 years with us :), Dr Lewis and Dr Allen will be ushering in our highly talented new physicians-Dr Coates and Dr Thompson. Unfortunately, Dr Hagan will not be able to stay with us (we've enjoyed the year she was with us), but another new physician will start with us next September. Her name is Dr Allison Polidori and we can't wait for her to join us.
Wow, that was a lot and that's just our doctors. We also had the following employee milestones:
Debi (receptionist) 20 years
Tera (Phone RN) 20 years
Charity (Medical Records) 10 years
Melanie (Phone RN) 10 years
Amber (Med Asst) 10 years
Kassady (Med Asst) 5 years
In addition, we have other employees with 26-29 years and several others approaching 20 years too many to list.
Holly (Manager) 29 years
Jennifer (Admin Asst) 29 years
Tammy (Supervisor) 28 years
Michelle (Billing) 26 years
You can't work together this long and not build relationships with each other and with the community that we serve. It's been an honor and we plan to continue our long standing tradition of providing excellent care to our patients and providing an excellent place to work.
We wanted to share a few pictures from our luncheon last week and wish everyone Happy Holidays.
