Feeling especially thankful today - For my health;
For my family and my tribe;
For our incrediable staff that have supported me and made working through this challenging year possible;
For all of our patients who have encouraged me, prayed for me, and been patient with all the changes cancer brought to our office

God has truly given me everything I need even in the storms.

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!

In the spirit of the season our office has adopted a family to provide Christmas presents too. We would love to have our patients (or anyone!) help us with this goal. Check out our tree in the office if you are interested
