Dr. C:  Dr. DeRosa would like to say something. Over the next month he will stop seeing patients. It’s been an honor and privilege working with the doctors and all of you.

Welcome Angelina and Marissa (front desk), and Lorrie Ann (concierge).

Still need more staff. If you know of anyone let Amy know.

2 new docs starting next month. Dr. Casey O’Shea beginning of Sept. and Dr. Matthew Floyd end of Sept.

COVID – Delta variant increasing. New variant Lambda coming. Back to COVID protocol with 1 patient allowed in a room unless help is needed for disabled, elderly or pediatric. All patients and staff need to wear mask that covers nose. If you see patient not complying let them know it’s mandatory.

Bathroom/kitchen duties. Keep bathrooms and kitchen orderly and clean. Toilet paper and paper towels in their holders. Do your specified duties and all watch even if you are not assigned.

Office philosophy – advanced eye care with a home-town touch. Patients are our reason for being. Practice needs a reason to make them come here. Provide service no one else can.

Contacts, surgical counselors – see if you are needed anywhere before you leave for the day.

Optical consultant will have a report for us soon.

OSHA – rest will be in Sept. meeting.
