💙 A Message from Dedea, M.D. Family Medicine 💙
Today we share both a heartfelt farewell and an exciting announcement for the future of our practice.
After much thought, our Practice Manager, Vanessa, has accepted a wonderful new professional opportunity. Her last day with Dedea, M.D. Family Medicine will be February 5. While we will deeply miss her, we are incredibly proud of her and grateful for the dedication, leadership, and heart she has poured into our practice. Vanessa has helped shape our office operations, strengthen our team culture, and support our patients with compassion and professionalism every day. We wish her nothing but success and happiness in this next chapter — she will always be part of our Dedea family.
At the same time, we are excited to announce that Dr. Anthony Dedea will be stepping into the role of Medical Director of Dedea, M.D. Family Medicine. Dr. Anthony has been an integral part of our practice’s growth from the very beginning, and his leadership, clinical excellence, and commitment to our patients and community make him the perfect fit for this role. We are confident that under his direction, our practice will continue to thrive and evolve while staying true to our mission of providing personalized, high-quality care to Hernando County.
Please join us in thanking Vanessa for all she has done and congratulating Dr. Anthony on his new role!
