Dear patient,
As you might be aware, Marolien Schmidt sadly passed away on 9 August 2023. Her vibrant personality and warm smile will be sorely missed by all those who knew her. She had an impact on so many people’s lives and leaves a big gap in the physio and sporting communities.
It is with a heavy heart that this serves as notification of the closure of Marolien’s practice. She was one of a kind and, as a family, we believe that the legacy of the Pink Physio should remain as it is, and rather live forth in our hearts and minds.
According to the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), the patient files should be collected by the patients and transferred to the new health care practitioner if you wish to be treated by another physiotherapist. The formal advertising process is still in progress and communication in relation to the process will be shared as soon as possible. With this in mind, please reach out to Sineke Schmidt Physiotherapist by sending an email to info@physiotouch.co.za to request your patient file. Your file will be couriered to you. Please send this request by Friday, 8 December 2023. The remaining patient files will be stored for a period of 5 years at Sineke Schmidt Physiotherapist, and you can contact Sineke should you wish to retrieve your file after this date.
Please note that the patient files can only be sent directly to the patient or parent of the patient (if the patient is younger than 18).
If you have any amounts outstanding, please settle your account as soon as possible and send through confirmation to Talita Steyn (walmerwellness2015@gmail.com). Unsettled accounts will be handed over to a collection agent by 30 November 2023.
Should you have any specific questions, please reach out to Talita Steyn.
Kind regards,
Jan Schmidt
