Watson Clinic believes that community outreach builds a healthier future for us all. That’s why our physicians, providers and other team members have been proud to participate in a number of special events and event sponsorships in recent weeks that have provided crucial health information, supported institutions that are meaningful to our community, and helped to raise funds and awareness for important health-related causes.

Recognizing Exceptional Patient Care – November 24
 
 
It all started when we received a letter of appreciation from the wife of a patient who wanted to single out two extraordinary team members: Senior registered nurses Frederick McDonald, RN and Antonella Rondinone, RN from our Nurse Clinic Highlands location.
 
“Recently my husband had a serious medical event, and we had the opportunity to visit the Nurse Clinic for 30 consecutive days, 5 days a week,” the letter read. “We were able to experience the kindness, caring and compassion of Antonella and Frederick. These two nurses are such professionals and a real credit not only to Watson Clinic but to their profession.”
 
In response to the letter, both Frederick and Antonella were presented with gift bags just in time for the holidays! Special thanks to both of these incredible team members for always going above and beyond when it comes to the care of our patients.
