It is hard to believe how much has changed in 6 weeks. Our leadership team has been aggressively planning for coronavirus since January. This virus has drastically affected our personal and professional lives.
First and foremost, I want to say how proud I am to be 1 of you and the entire Tryon Medical Partners team. We have been quick to adapt and are committed to doing what it takes to keep our patients informed, safe and healthy.
I also want to acknowledge the team partners who unfortunately are no longer employed with us. They are close personal friends and many tears have been shed by us all. The Board of Directors and I wrestled with this gut-wrenching decision, but knew we had to respond to the new medical practice challenges for the health of our organization during this pandemic.
