After nearly 12 years at our front desk, we’re wishing a very happy retirement to Gail 💙

Gail has been the friendly face and welcoming voice that so many of our patients know and love. With more than 40 years of medical office experience, she brought professionalism, kindness, and calm to every interaction—and made everyone feel at home the moment they walked through our doors.

We will miss her warmth, her dedication, and the care she showed our patients and team every day. We hope retirement brings plenty of time for reading, quilting, knitting, and enjoying her creative community. Thank you, Gail, for everything—you will always be part of the SMPT family.

An object in motion...

Aging does not automatically cause weakness. Inactivity does.

Every year we live, our bodies want to adapt to respond to the challenges we give them. When we stop moving, the muscles shrink, balance falters, bones weaken, and energy fades. But none of that is inevitable.

Consistent, purposeful movement is more powerful than any supplement, pill, or quick fix. Lifting, walking, stretching, balancing, and challenging your body regularly doesn’t just slow decline it teaches your body to stay capable, resilient, and alive.

Aging may bring grey hairs and wrinkles, but it does not have to bring frailty. Weakness is not a birthright it is a consequence of surrendering to stillness. Every time you move, you push back. You remind your body that it still matters, that it can still respond, adapt, and thrive.

If you move, you stay strong.
If you stay strong, you stay independent.
If you stay independent, you stay free.

Inactivity is the only thing that steals strength with certainty. Everything else genetics, supplements, luck is secondary.

Your choice today, your movement today, determines not just how long you livebut how fully you live.
