NCMA Employee Newsletter - Fall 2017 Winter 2018

Newsworthy NCMA Employee Newsletter Winter 2018 Ruth Skidmore , CEO This is the time of year when we take a deep breath and look back at our accomplishments for 2017 and pause to consider the coming year. I am happy to say that our medical group continues to attract a diverse group of highly qualified physicians and healthcare providers who put value in the team approach to high quality medical care. “Our practices are expanding. We’re off to a great start… “ There is much to look forward to as we continue to expand our patient services, and our team of physicians, providers and staff continue to grow. We are doing quite well. This past year was big in many ways. A total of 14 new physicians came onboard, including two highly regarded medical practices: Redwood Family Dermatology and Dr. Rachel Mayorga. We are anticipating even more growth in the coming year. Evidence of that growth has already begun as we welcomed a new practice: Family Wellness Medical Center, headed by Yusuf Erskine, DO. Dr. Erskine’s practice is well-known and respected and specializes in Osteopathy, Homeopathy, and AIDS/HIV Care.

In this new location our healthcare providers have a larger space to provide much needed services. The new site also includes a conference space for diabetes education, plus plenty of room to expand. Our next initiative with the Diabetes Center is to recruit two additional endocrinologists, another NP and an additional diabetes educator. As our group of practices continues to expand, we anticipate adding more than 15 new physicians in the coming year. We’re off to a great start! Ruth
