On a different note... for years, we have been proudly sponsoring the John Smylie Memorial Golf Classic, a fundraiser tournament organized by the TMH Foundation.This year’s event was a memorable one, with the excitement of the day highlighted by a lucky participant Steve O’Connell who scored a hole-in-one and took home an incredible prize. The event brought together a wonderful community of supporters, all united in raising funds for emergency department expansion. We are honored to contribute to this meaningful cause and grateful for the continued trust of our clients as we work together to make a lasting impact.

Also, November was a Diabetes Awareness Month, an important reminder to focus on the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with or is at risk for Type 2 diabetes, there are group programs available that offer support through lifestyle changes like healthier eating, weight loss, and increased physical activity. These changes have been shown to make a significant difference in managing or even reversing the condition.
