Today is a celebration of ! Yes, I know that snuck up on a few of you so grab those flowers and steaks on the home home from work today.

A few years back, we wrote about what it was like to work with your spouse EVERY SINGLE DAY (seriously, that the visual version of how people verbally ask us that question)! People ask us how we do it. It's true, we are together all of the time. When we get home from work, we talk about work and on the weekends, we work if we need to. I joked last time that Rachel wanted to expand our IGH clinic so my office would be further way from hers. Well that completely backfired because we are now literally across the hallway from each other🤣. So, if you are wondering the real reason we opened our Hastings location, it was a second attempt to try and sperate our offices again...

In all seriousness though, working together is the best when you get to do it with your best friend and soulmate. We are so lucky we get to do what we love and do it not only with each other but our amazing staff and all you families! Thank you for giving us the privilege of supporting you. And maybe today is expanded from just celebrating spouses to appreciating those significant others and partners in your life, whether you are married or not. Be sure to tell each other how much you care for each other, share those feelings (no matter how hard it is!) and appreciate the little things about your partner that makes them unique.

Oh, and when you are posting about your partner, be sure to find the perfect picture!

Have you ever run into a doctor, dentist or someone from your local Therapy OPS clinic out in public and wonder why they are smiling awkwardly at you but are not approaching you to greet you? Your mind races while you wonder, "do they see me?, "why aren't they saying anything to me?" and "is there something on my face?". The answer is yes, they can see you but no, they cannot approach you no matter how badly they want to mention the ice cream on your cheek from the dilly bar you wolfed down at lunch.

The explanation is HIPAA. HIPAA not only protects the privacy/information of clients when they are at a clinic but it also protects clients in public. Health care providers are known to the communities they serve and those clinics may provide a service that a client could consider embarrassing, uncomfortable or just wants to keep private. Therefore, HIPAA policy requires all health care providers not to interact with clients unless the client initiates the interaction. That initiation by the client is consent that it's ok for the provider to speak to you. So, next time you run into Rachel and Chris (or any TOPS staff) at a local bar, I mean restaurant, and you find yourself standing uncomfortably close to them in silence while they look on helplessly wishing (and WILLING) you would simply say hi so they can say hi back, please do. We aren't intentionally being rude, HIPAA is FORCING us be rude!
