Howard Graman, MD, CEO PHMG 

A warm "thank you" to each and everyone within PHMG


Whether you are a caregiver at a front desk checking someone in for an appointment, an MA rooming a patient, a nurse assisting with a procedure, or a physician/APC conducting an office visit, no doubt you have been on the receiving end of a "Thank You" from an appreciative patient.

However, as an organization, we don't always adequately show our appreciation for the hard work you do every day to bring our healing mission to the people we serve.

You often work long hours and endure stressful circumstances, sometimes without the full resources we all know you need to do your job to its maximum potential. Many of you have compromised commitments to your family to provide needed care in a timely way.

So, in this season of Thanksgiving, I want to be sure you feel a heartfelt expression of appreciation from PHMG for your contributions.

You are our mission and we could not fulfill it without you.

Thank you so much. Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
