Our team had our holiday dinner after a busy day - prescheduled visits, add on visits, & calls - helping the sick and well. A usual December Monday! As we sat around the table we followed a tradition - talking about “the good, the hard and the gift”. The Gift is what we learn from it all, or what you are looking forward to. Looking around the table it was obvious to me, the Gift is This Team. The Team makes the good days better and the hard days more fun. We did our White Elephant and went by years at DOPC and it struck me…

Staff Spotlight: A HUGE Thank You to Our Team!

The coolest part to me, however, is that I have known more than half our team for a decade (or more!). From residency ~ Rhonda. Since my first job ~ Chris. Starting preK with our first kids ~ Cat. Longest at DOPC? Shannon. And of course, my mom my whole life! Ha! What a lucky woman I am to be surrounded by this team - passionate about serving others ~ for all of these years.

This year our small and mighty team together accomplished a LOT:

  • Our favorite new programs were hits! With Brain Health we all learned a ton. It turns out EEGs are fascinating and our tools meld together perfectly when looking at brain waves, brain chemicals and hormones - what a treat to get that 360 view!
  • Cat grew Healthy Living and the first participants have now lost 30-50 pounds - sustainably and comfortably - keeping it off and feeling better than ever!
  • We brought in the newest, cutting edge multi cancer early detect testing with Galleri. Finally the test I have been asked for all of my career - can’t you tell if I have cancer from a blood test? Yes! Now we have a step in that direction!
  • We formalized all of our programs on our website so you can finally see all of our hard work in a format other a word document! :)
  • We accomplished top notch, personalized and pro active primary care every day, including:
  • 2,389 visits with Dr Brie or Cat
  • 1,040 visits with a medical assistant or for a lab draw (here’s looking at you Shannon!)
  • And, as a team we sent, collectively, 10,321 portal messages!
We simply couldn’t make the dream work without every person on our team and I am so thankful for their hard work and commitment to our mission. We are all here to support our Vision: ReEnvision Health+Care, Provide Service and Model Balance.

We couldn’t do it without each other.  

And we couldn’t do it without you.

You chose a new way of care. You went out on that limb. You knew that we would get to know you. You knew we would be here to “fight the fight” with you. We fight to “authorize” prescriptions every week - here’s looking at you women’s hormones & weight loss medications!! UGH!. We work to find you care in spite of (or instead of) what is inside the box of your insurance card. We have the freedom to spend more time with you, and truly listen. We are on YOUR TEAM.

So this holiday season - from the slippery slope to 2025, enjoy the Good, the Hard and the Gift in your life. Some days it is easier to see than others. Some of these dark and cold winter nights seem long. Find a way to pause, breath and hug whenever you can. Health flows from there.

Cheers from all of us at DOPC!

Galleri® testing is available for a limited time at just $925 (regularly $999). This groundbreaking screening tool detects over 50 types of cancer—many of which don’t have standard screening options—before symptoms appear.

Why choose Galleri®?

- Early detection of aggressive cancers.
- Comprehensive insights alongside traditional screenings.
- A proactive step toward long-term health.

Book your Galleri® test today to prioritize your health! For December and January you can bring a family member to be tested too. For this limited time, non members pay only $100 additional, for the administration and handling fee. Give the gift of health & proactive care - come and test together!

Any results that screen “positive” or with a “cancer signal detected” will have a required visit review fee to discuss details and next steps on testing (cost varies $150-$350). This review fee for any concerning results applies to members and non members. Results are available within in 2 weeks of the blood draw. Schedule in the portal under My Appointments for the lab draw, with “Galleri” or “cancer blood test” in the notes of the appointment request and we’ll take it from there!
