With very mixed feelings my husband Nick and I have decided to leave Orcas. My last day of work at the Orcas Family Health Center will be Jan. 2.
It’s been a lovely time here on Orcas, but we’re ready for a change of climate and landscape.
I have really loved my job, the patients and the collegiality of my coworkers. I doubt that I will ever again have the opportunity to work with as much freedom from the constraints of corporate medicine as I have had here.
I’ll miss the patients especially. I have met the most interesting, challenging, lovable, frustrating, admirable, earnest, quirky, inexplicable, charming, adorable, forgiving, fascinating and resilient people here.
Thanks to everyone for letting me be part of your lives for these years and for so graciously seeing me off on the next phase of my life.
