💙 ✨ This month, we're shining the 🤩 spotlight on Fern Ferwerda, from the Retina Team at Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center in Flagstaff! Fern is our October 2025 CEO Award recipient🏆, presented by AVP CEO Shane Armstrong!👏👏
Dr. Brendan Girschek MD FRCS(C) FACS shared his sentiment about Fern’s remarkable contributions: “Over the last year, Fern has been a quick learner and excelled in every facet of the retina practice. She communicates confidently with patients and doctors alike, coordinating referrals and driving the growth of our Northern Arizona Retina Service. Fern has become the go-to educator for new technicians, demonstrating mastery of every detail required in a busy retina clinic. Her reliability, stamina, and selfless commitment to patient care inspire everyone around her. BDPEC is a stronger, more productive practice because of Fern’s enthusiastic attention to detail and dedication to our mission of providing the best care possible.”
Fern is truly exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to help her team and doctors provide the highest level of patient care. Her positivity, teamwork, and can-do attitude shine through every day, inspiring those around her.
