NOTE FROM THE CEO

This month I have some good news and some not so good news.

Let’s start with the good news first. We have two new providers joining our network; Karen Morrow, FNP is a nurse practitioner, who specializes in family and pediatric medicine. She joins us from Crescent City where she has an established practice.

Greg Tjossem, MD is a Family Practice doctor joining us from Iowa. Both will start in January and provide much needed capacity in Brookings.

The month of June brings with it the official beginning of summer, Father’s Day (mark your calendars – it’s the 19th this year!), as well as Men’s Health Month! The purpose of celebrating Men’s Health Month is to “heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases” that affect our fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers.
