How many Nurses and Doctors do you know Love their Job?






 Today, as I was finishing up with a patient visit, the receptionist said, "Dr. Anderson you have a package at the front desk."  Not sure what that would be, I opened the door and found a balloon and a box of chocolates.  As you are aware, physicians and nurses have a high rate of suicide in the healthcare community that is often times unspoken (Pamela Wimble, MD  founder of idealmedicalcare.org)




  Working with the demands of administrative reports, billing, billing, billing and when billing for services are rejected, getting notices that you are not seeing enough patients makes the healthcare profession a stressful and sometimes feeling like your in a hostile environment.  Dr. Pamela Wimble, the founder of Ideal Clinics is a phenomenal physician  but is also an advocate of taking the factory worker assembly line practice out of medicine. 


   Dr. Pamela Wimble emphases the importance of finding your dream job and healthcare providers becoming healers for those in greatest need.. "Love, hope, dreams are fluffy words in medicine.  Not easily measured or reimbursed.  Not valued like GPAs and board scores.  Yet- in the end-your dream is the only thing that matters.  It's what tethers you here on earth."
  For information on Ideal Clinics go to, www.idealmedicalcare.org


  When a provider is not getting the support from other colleagues in a particular location or site, sometimes it is best to seek help from others and move on.  Dr. Pamela Wimble says, "you can't do this alone.. medicine is a team sport."  This kind gesture reminded me why I provide primary specialty care for those living with Sickle Cell Disease Anemia.  Sometimes, just getting a thank you from a patient means so much ...... Why am I doing this???

TOVA reflects on winning the 2017 Delaware Small Woman-Owned Business of the Year

TOVA Community,





            I want to thank all who came out to a standing only crowd support Dr. Anderson at the 2017 SBA Awards at the DuPont Country Club, May 3rd.  As I stood on the podium to accept this prestigious award, I emphasized how vital small businesses are to improving the Economic Health of our Local Economy.  Small Businesses create jobs-period.  Almost half of the private sector workforce (49%) is employed by a small business- that's 120 million people in the U.S.

            Small Businesses also lead the way in product innovation and technology by producing patents that spur innovation - thus creating even more jobs.  Whether the business is in healthcare, which is one of the fastest growing job sector in the U.S., or the small mom & pop ice cream store in lower Delaware; the aggregate economic impact on our Delaware Economy tips the scales.

            For more information on launching your business go to, www.sba.gov.

Creating Vision Boards at the TOVA Advocacy Support Group



     
  A vision board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on specific life goals. A Vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in life. Putting in a location that you can view every day is a powerful way to visualize positive frequency of energy - pushing you towards the goals you want in life.  You can't believe what you don't see.  To find out how vision boards work, go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elizabeth-rider/the-scientific-reason-why_b_6392274.html

     One of the participants was so moved he stated "Dr. Anderson, I never though about what I want out of life".  Wow, that Ah-Ha moment.  Just taking a time to step away to focus on yourself is a powerful mind exercise.  The TOVA Advocacy Group meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month.Next Group Session will be held on June 7th at the Henrietta Johnson Medical Center.
