To our esteemed APP colleagues,
As we approach this Holiday Season, I wanted to take a moment, to send my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for the sacrifices you all have made to help others during these unprecedented times. I know it hasn’t been easy but I remain encouraged by your relentless hard work, resilience, and dedication in providing extraordinary care that meets the complex health needs of our patients. Thank you for your tireless efforts on the frontlines and when the history books are written about COVID-19, I hope they include our gifted, talented, and compassionate APP workforce. Stay encouraged, as we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you and yours Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2021. Stay safe and healthy.
