With all the uncertainty of everything going on right now, I have one little thing to celebrate…today is my very last day sitting in this office where I have enjoyed beautiful sunrises and the soothing sounds of the expressway for the past 2 years!!
Our clinic is moving this weekend!!!!
While this may not seem like the optimal time to move into a new location, this plan was in place way before COVID-19 hit and many states were placed on shelter in place and well, there’s no turning back!!
For those of you who don’t know, let me tell you a little about what I do and how I ended up here. I am an FNP working in a privately owned occupational health/urgent care in suburban Chicago. I have been with this company in total for 4 years. About 3 years ago I was offered the opportunity to work as a pediatric hospitalist APN for a local hospital. I thought this would be my dream job as I had spent my entire nursing career in pediatrics. Unfortunately, that opportunity was not the best fit for me and somehow the stars aligned and the owner of my current clinic, where I was still PRN, contacted me about a new opportunity. He was opening a brand new occupational health clinic to service several large companies in the area and he needed a provider for the clinic. While I was hesitant at first to open a new clinic, I decided to take the chance and we opened 2 years ago this month.
Our clinic has been relatively successful in the current location however in order to expand our business and provide the best care to our patients, we are moving to an area where there is more industry and we will be able to provide access to medical services for more companies and still provide urgent care needs to patients in the community. Anyways, long story short, this is a little piece of excitement for me in an otherwise uncertain world. Hopefully, we continue our success and only go up from here!
