MMPT says goodbye to Donna

Well, it's official. Donna is a Californian. She is our "HR" person at MMPT and has been integral in establishing more order in an office belonging to an "orange" personality! And so, on her last official day, we all met at a joint not far from the clinic for a proper send off.

We love Donna, but truth be known, we just look for an excuse to get together for happy hour! Robin is our pediatric receptionist, Beth does all the input of charges for all 5 clinics, and Renee has handled all patient verification of input and input of info into our system for years.

Mr. Bob is married to Miss Bev, so we all love him. He is at most of our get togethers. And Melanie is a goober who is trying to take a photo of the two of them with outstretched arms. .

Rebecca even came. She didn't officially start until the following Monday, thus filling Donna's empty spot in our office. But, what a trooper!! She showed up to send Donna off anyway. Without even really knowing anybody. But, we are family, and we welcome pretty much anybody.

As you know, this is Jessi. She totally RUNS the Ruston clinic, and Amy is our certified hand specialist and in very high demand, OT!

Amber and Anna were students who spent the summer training under Amy and Summer and are scheduled to graduate later this year. Amber as a COTA. Anna as an LOTR.

This is Michelle. She does all the OT in Ruston. We are excited that she will soon be going to full time in the Ruston clinic which will cut down on the driving back and forth of all therapists.

Hello and welcome, Rebecca. I can tell already... we are gonna get along swimmingly!

And this is Tom. He is my new business manager. He has really, really, really whipped my offices into a more organized state. And I can't wait for the ride we have ahead! I expect even more positive changes.

I think we ended up with about three really large tables. It was one of our bigger turnouts for a party with the MMPT crew.

Robin's daughter, Maddi, showed up, even, to hang with us. We MUST be cool if teenagers want to come be with us.

This joint is OLD!! I mean, I can remember going here with my mom and dad when I was in junior high. It's changed owners and looks over the years. I like it like they have it now!

Because now they have a big outdoor patio for dining and even better.... for karaoke!

(Renee is a camera hog!!)

This is Renee. And the redhead is Jessica. SHe is a PTA and works in primarly pediatrics in our clinic. She has a heart of gold and what a blessing to have her with us! She came here as a student and ended up finding her husband while she was here attending church.

Do we have good looking staff members, or what?!

I tell the parents of the kids at my office, "we only let cute kids come here"... because as kid lovers, you can imagine, we think they are all cute!

Keith is a PT tech and also basically runs the show with regards to organizing all the techs' schedules in all the clinics. He also pretty much keeps up the grounds in the WM clinics.And who is THIS hot couple?! I changed shirts because I decided to have a drink and didn't want my MMPT logo on when I drank. Just in case you were wondering.

Wow there they are again!! A little more gray and Todd the Bod could play Santa this Christmas. I'm jusssssst playing! Anytime he has mentioned getting his hair colored, I protest!! I like that gray! I think it looks sophisticated. And kinda hot!

Keith and Robin are two brave souls who signed up for karaoke.

Look in the photo above... that's something unique about Louisiana. Ya know how sometimes restaurants will keep ketchup out on the table, as it is a common condiment?! Well, that is Tobasco hot sause beside it!! In Louisiana, that is as common a condiment as ketchup! Trivia for ya'!

Nope NOT me!! I don't sing karaoke. Ok, well sometimes I do. I think I've mentioned the songs I sing when I do. What's yours?! And does anybody know mine!?

If not, I'll share later!

We really do have the funnest group! Just a cool bunch of people who like to use their gifts to help others. There's a comraderie in that! Happy weekend, y'all!
