We're celebrating Taylor today!
Taylor works her magic in the billing department—fixing claims, mastering codes, and making it all look effortless. Even though some of these skills are brand new to her, you’d never guess it—she’s hit the ground running from day one!
We’ve been lucky to have her on our team for the past 5 months, and in that time, she’s become an irreplaceable part of our crew. Her favorite thing about working here? The people! Her coworkers have become like a second family, which means a lot when you’re 1,300 miles away from home.
When she’s not dazzling us with her billing brilliance, Taylor’s off on hiking adventures with her daughter and friends. And when it’s time to relax? You’ll find her nose deep in a book—a lot of books. She’s a total bookworm who can breeze through 1,000 pages in a single day! Right now she’s reading the Throne of Glass series (though let’s be honest—she’s probably already finished it by the time you read this). She's also a fan of The Wheel of Time TV show.
If Taylor could design her perfect summer day, she’d be headed straight for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, wand in hand and magic in the air. Bonus points if she’s sipping on a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks—which won’t be hard to find, since Orlando boasts a whopping 68 Starbucks locations

A few ideas for things to do with the kids this weekend!

07/16/2025

Electronic Ni****ne Delivery Systems (such as e-cigarettes and v**e pens) have grown in popularity. With their increasing presence in homes, accidental exposures among young children are becoming a serious concern.
Even a small amount of liquid ni****ne can be dangerous—potentially causing serious harm or even death.
Exposure can occur through ingestion or absorption through the skin.
To help prevent accidental poisoning:
• Always store va**ng products out of sight and out of reach of children—preferably in a locked cabinet.
• Never use these products around children.
• Refill, clean, and dispose of devices safely.
If you suspect a child has been exposed, call the National Poison Help Line immediately at 1-800-222-1222.
Possible symptoms of ni****ne poisoning include:
• Severe stomach pain
• Vomiting
• Seizures
• Difficulty breathing
• Increased heart rate and blood pressure
Your awareness and safe habits can help protect children from preventable harm.

Let’s Celebrate Bianca!
Please join us in recognizing Bianca for her incredible contributions to our team over the past year and a half! Her calm, level-headed presence and strong work ethic have made her a valued part of the clinic. Always quick to lend a hand or share a smile, Bianca effortlessly builds friendships and lifts the spirits of those around her.
She’s grateful for the skills she’s picked up from her peers and appreciates how they’ve helped her grow—not just professionally, but personally, in navigating life beyond work.
Outside of the clinic, Bianca is just as dynamic. You’ll often find her playing pool or softball, spending time with friends and family, or caring for her lovable crew of pets: three dogs, three guinea pigs, and a cat!
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for Bianca, look no further than a Sunburst Tea from Hot Toddies (a delightful blend of green tea, raspberry, peach, and orange juice) and a Dexter boxed set—two of her favorites!
Her idea of a perfect summer day? Relaxing on a boat, casting a line, and fishing the hours away.
Thanks for being such a bright light, Bianca—we’re lucky to have you on the team!

Let’s take a moment to shine the spotlight on Lavinia!

Lavinia is a vital part of our billing team, a quiet powerhouse behind the scenes who ensures codes are spot-on and claims get paid. Her ever-growing expertise and ability to juggle multiple tasks make her an incredible asset—and her strong connection with the team doesn’t go unnoticed.
When she's not keeping our billing world in check, Lavinia loves soaking up time outdoors with family and friends, making memories that matter. At home, her cat Theodore keeps a watchful eye on things while she’s off adventuring.
She’s usually sipping coffee from home, but when it’s time for a little treat? It’s all about that white chocolate mocha with a caramel drizzle. Her idea of a perfect day? Lounging by the lake, snacks in hand, surrounded by great company and zero stress.
Thank you for everything you do, Lavinia—you truly make a difference!

Join us in celebrating Madison!
Madison has been an essential part of our team for nearly three years. During her time with us, she not only contributed tremendously to our work but also earned her Master’s degree in Medical Sciences—a true testament to her dedication and drive.
We’re continually impressed by Madison’s intelligence, strong work ethic, and unwavering professionalism. She often mentions that her favorite part of the job is her coworkers—and it shows. Her kindness, support, and willingness to go the extra mile for her teammates make her a valued and beloved colleague.
Outside of work, Madison is a true adventurer and creative spirit. She enjoys gardening, hiking, kayaking, traveling, baking, and painting. She loves spending time outdoors with her dogs, Luna (a German Shepherd) and Bailey (a Yellow Lab), while her cat Cheeto prefers to keep things cozy at home.
Her ideal summer day includes a campfire cookout by the lake, swimming with family and friends, and of course, plenty of s’mores. Her go-to drink is an iced vanilla latte, and when it’s time to unwind, you’ll likely find her binge-watching Criminal Minds.
We’re lucky to have Madison on our team—thank you for everything you bring to our workplace!
