Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season.  We all love to enjoy the fantastic food that comes along with it. Just because it’s the holidays, doesn’t mean you have to eat unhealthy. We have decided to share some healthier versions of some great Thanksgiving recipes.  Check them out and be sure to let us know what you think!

Another beautiful baby girl has been born to our hygiene (previously front desk) staff member, Amanda G. On October 28th, Amanda and her husband Mike welcomed Baby Evelyn into the world. 5lbs 15.5oz and 19 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great!

You may have received an e-mail from us last week in regards to our annual food drive, but in case you missed it, here is the info:

We are proud to be collecting non-perishable food items for the 5th year in a row! Working with the Hunger Task Force, we will be collecting food items here in our office through November 25th. All patients and non-patients are welcome to donate. Stop in any time during business hours (even if you don’t have an appointment) to donate. As a ‘Thank you’ to those who donate, each person will be entered to win an awesome gift basket which is valued at over $550.00! One entry per day, per person. So, stop in often for more than one chance to win!

It is important to our doctors and staff to reach out to those less fortunate in the community. We are thankful for patients like you who can help make it happen.
