Exciting Updates from Tougas Therapy! 🌿
As we move into 2026, we have some big news to share regarding our growth and how we’re working to better serve our community.

🩺 New Services: Medication Management
We are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting new patients for Medication Management! Please join us in welcoming our new Nurse Practitioner, Jim Tougas, to the team.

Format: Primarily via Telehealth (convenient care from home!).

Availability: Limited in-office appointments are also available.

💻 EMR Transition & Growth
We want to extend a huge thank you for your patience as we’ve transitioned to our new Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. We know that moving away from the conveniences of Simple Practice hasn’t been without its hiccups. However, this upgrade is a vital step in allowing our practice to expand and provide even better care throughout this year.

💳 Billing & Support
Change can sometimes lead to technical glitches. If you notice any billing issues or discrepancies within the new system, please reach out to me directly so we can get it squared away for you.

🤝 Need Extra Support Today?
If you’re feeling like you need a little extra space to talk today, I am holding "walk-in" virtual appointments. No need to schedule—just hop into my virtual waiting room until 1pm: 🔗 Join here: https://doxy.me/stougas

Streamlined Care: This move helps us manage our growing practice and ensures your information remains secure and accessible.

Thank you for your patience as we make this upgrade! If you have any questions or didn't receive your invite, please reach out to our office.
