Announcement:
Happy New Year Friends, Clients and Family!
I hope your holiday season was a blessed one. Thank you all that brought in goodies, once again we were inundated by your generosity, and a New Year’s resolution for me is to now work it off!
Looking back on 2023, thank you so much for your patronage. We wouldn’t be here without you. We had the usual staff changes, but we always seem to be blessed with good new people as others leave. Probably the biggest change was my reduction to 3 work days a week (from 4 or 5), plus the usual one or two Saturdays a month. It was time for me to cut back a bit physically and mentally. Dr. Amanda Hensen joined us at that time and her being here has allowed the new schedule to work. This has agreed nicely with my system, and I figure I can do this for the next 4-5 years. Even though Dr. Webb is on a personal leave of absence from daily patient life; he continues to come in as needed to perform ultrasounds, usually once a week.
The biggest change on the horizon for 2024 is converting from paper charts to electronic medical records. Our launch is coming right up in 2 weeks. I ask for your patience as we convert over. We’re slowing down the schedule for a couple of weeks during the conversion, but hope to get to 100%, or maybe more, by mid-February. During that time we will do our best to accommodate emergencies and urgent medical matters, but with several 24 hour ER clinics now available in Colorado Springs, your pet will get cared for one way or another.
Again, thank you for your pet care business. With the addition of what we call “the COVID generation” of additional pets/patients, and ongoing corporate dissatisfaction, we still are not able to take on new clients and their pets at this time. Our focus is on previous and existing clients and caring for their pets the best we can.
I hope 2024 is a good year for all of you, and I look forward to seeing many of you as the year goes on.
Thank you,
Dr. Cor
At Fillmore Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.
