You and your team may not recognize this, and the word hero is overused, but in our book, this is what you are. Heroes.

Caught up with dealing with the urgencies of the times, you and your team may overlook the crucial and significant role you all play in raising the level of physical and emotional health of your community.

Without you, people in acute pain might tax critical and urgent care resources. Without you, patients on corrective or maintenance care might fall back into acute care.

You help alleviate our pain and improve our health – including our immune system.  You calm our concerns with your well-informed insight and give us action steps to improve our health.

Health, as we know, is dependent upon mechanical, chemical, and emotional factors. Besides your adjustments and therapy, you provide education – and reassurance that this pandemic will pass.

I hear about it every day. You risk your health to help others, both physically and mentally.

Let your team know the vital role that they are playing.

Years from now, when asked what they did during 2020 Pandemic, they will be able to say that they were Essential Health Care Workers — and didn’t flinch.

And we just wanted to tell you – very sincerely – THANKS!

From all of us at Petty Michel and Associates.
