Acknowledgements:

I would like to deeply thank these great people and friends who have made my dream possible, especially my wonderful partner, Patricia, who has and continues to work side by side with me to make this a reality. This initiative would not have been possible without her insight, enthusiasm and unconditional support. She is the one who uncovered the necessary technological tools to allow me to serve my patients the way I dreamed. I think she found the perfect balance on what I call “technology for the betterment of human relationships”.

These were the “right people at the right time” for me:

Sharon Campese, former Community First Medical Clinic Manager, without whom I would not even be in Nelson. She recruited me, supported me and continues to help me with unconditional generosity. 

Deb Zeeben, from the Community First Health Co-op Building, approached me in a time of uncertainty and gave me all possible concessions to make the first home for my micro practice at the Co-op building. 

Barb Williams, from Community Futures. provided extraordinary teachings, support and advice to create and maintain the business aspect of the micro practice.

Keith Chung, from Veribook, created and shared the first amazing online booking product as well as his professional experience and advice.

Peggy Sabourin, our artist, life coach and Chilean-Canadian friend, who worked so hard in creating a beautiful setting for the first practice office, harmonizing Feng Shui, masculine and feminine energies, the elements, the modern and the rustic. It was a pleasure to work in a place surrounded by beauty and balance.

Leslie and Larry Cruikshank, our friends and ghost writers, whom in no time tuned their willingness and fantastic writing skills to make this website a pleasure to read. 

Rosalie Moore, from MedAccess, patiently walked us through the process of selecting our Electronic Medical Records system. She guided us in identifying the right product to securely keep and maintain our patients’ medical information. 

Kristie Cousins, from Shaw, worked with us diligently and patiently to identify a solution offering the right balance of our first telephone and internet services.

Thank you all deeply.
