Congratulations Dr. Tamara Medley!
For the third year in a row, Dr. Medley has been awared the Patients' Choice Award. She was also honored with this award in 2009 and 2008.
Each year the American Registry sends out over 800,000 patient surveys asking for feedback on areas such as bedside manner, the amount of time spent with patients, the courtesy of office and support staff, appropriate follow-up, and the over-all opinion of the physician. After reviewing the results of the surveys, Dr. Medley was recognized again.
Please join us in congratulating her on this achievement.
Camping with the WHCSO Crew
July 17-19, 2009 found several WHCSO staff families at Stewart State Park Campground, Lost Creek Lake, for a weekend of fun, sun, and food. Five WHCSO families got together in 3 campsites to share the weekend.
As you can see below, the kids stole the show! It was truly a family affair with 5 kids, 5 teenagers, 5 dogs (do you see a pattern here?) and 10 adults present. We had so much fun that we're hoping to make this an annual event.
Where we went camping. "Defiance" the bald eagle.

Rock & Roll and... Running?
On June 27, 2009 Laura from of our Triage department, participated in the Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon. The event featured a full marathon with several bands playing along the course route. This was Laura's first full marathon (she completed a half-marathon earlier this year). This is an amazing achievement and we are all very proud of Laura's drive and determination.

Relay For Life 2009 "Peace, Love, and a Cure"
This year's Relay for Life event was held at North Valley High School June 13th & 14th. The staff of Women's Health Center was excited to particpate again. We were set to rock all night long with our '70's themed booth, complete with tie-dye, black lights, and Rock Band. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative! Due to heavy rain and impending thunder storms, the event was called off Saturday night around 7pm.
There will be a ceremony on June 23rd at 8:30pm at North Valley High School to complete one of the most important and meaningful portions of the Relay event: the Luminaria lighting ceremony. Candles will be lit in memory of cancer vicitms at dusk. Please feel free to join us there for the ceremony.
The Survivors' Walk to kick off Relay for Life
Julie got arrested (for having too much fun) and had to beg for bail money from Troy.
Fund Raising Results: The WHCSO relay team raised $1,266 for the American Cancer Society this year. We surpassed our fundraising goal and couldn't have done it without your support. Thanks!
