Tis The Season

Posted on by

Most everyone likes Christmas time. Our office particularly likes the holidays.

We decorate. Patients bring us treats. Everyone seems to be in a better mood.

We take a few days off, totally OFF. And we do our annual Christmas picture.

This has become quite an event for us.

We agree on a theme, a movie. Then dress as the characters and take a fun photo.

Think Elf, Christmas Story, the Grinch and Polar Express,

We use the photo for both a social media post and our holiday email.

The message is always fun and relates back to DPC in some way.

Patients love it. I think they like to see our personalities; they like to see us as real people.

Why do I share this? ~ well, because its fun.

We NEVER were able to celebrate like this in the system.

Heck, we couldn’t even say Christmas.

And because its important to celebrate your work family, what you have created in your DPC

office.

Here are a few of our photos over the years.

Merry Christmas.

About Amy Walsh, MD

Family always comes first: I am married to Whitey and can't imagine life without him. I have 4 great kids who screw up from time to time; but they are still pretty damn cool. Dog mom to 2 yellow labs who are exhausting and messy, but we love them. Happy DPC doctor since 2015 as the system wore me down and made me miserable. Luckily I found DPC. I found “my people” and never looked back. DPC was my best career decision without a doubt. Former varsity gymnast at the University of Michigan: I refer to those years as my “first life.” I learned about hard work, goal setting, and most importantly the value of true friendship. Hey, did you know UM gymnastics won NCAA Natty in 2021. Such a proud moment.Go Blue! Have been accused of being Type A, OCD, perfectionist, competitive. I may agree with most of those, but prefer words like focused, determined and committed. See? I have learned to use those all to my advantage.
