Where in the world is Barbara?

You may be wondering where I’ve been and why haven’t you received a newsletter yet this month. Rest assured, we are all fine…just exhausted.

For those of you that do not know…on August 1st, we opened Aberdeen Primary Care and the response has been fantastic. While I thought I had a good grasp on what was needed to open a clinic, there turned out to be a gazillion little details that can escape your radar until they suddenly become big ones. It’s been a huge learning experience. Someone asked me if I was nuts, and would I do this again….my answer is yes to both.

Now that I am getting spending more than 6 hours a day at home (that includes sleep), I’ll be getting a newsletter out to you soon. There is lots to share, and many of you have been sending in your contributions…I can’t wait to share theme.
