It was with sadness that we said good-bye to one or our hygienists, Kate, who had been with our practice since 1999. Some of you may know that in addition to working with our office, Kate was a licensed clinical social worker and maintained a private practice four days a week as a therapist.  Recently, Kate was offered an opportunity to work full time with the Army to help soldiers who are struggling with mental health and addiction issues.  While we will miss Kate, we know that this is important work and wish her well in her newest endeavor.
