Yesterday was Administrative Professionals Day, and we’re taking a moment to recognize the incredible registration, scheduling, and office staff across all JCHC Clinics, Business Office, Professional Clinic, Specialty Clinic, and Administration.

These team members are often the first friendly voice on the phone, the welcoming face at check-in, and the organized support that helps keep our organization running smoothly each day. From assisting patients and coordinating appointments to managing the many details that support daily operations, their work plays an essential role in the care we provide to our patients and community.

With how busy these teams keep things running, we weren’t able to capture photos of everyone, but their impact is felt every single day. We are grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and the care they bring to every interaction.

Please join us in thanking our outstanding administrative professionals for all they do. 🧡

Parkinson’s disease doesn’t just affect the individual it impacts the entire family 🧡

Behind every person living with Parkinson’s is often a caregiver providing daily support, encouragement, and care. As the disease progresses, that role can become more physically and emotionally demanding, making support and connection more important than ever.

At Jefferson County Health Center, we’re here to support both patients and the people who care for them. From caregiver resources to local support groups, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

We’re thrilled to celebrate our own:
