FROM THE editor’s desk
Our Meet the Doctors issue is always one of our most highly- anticipated of the year. This edition in particular is well-loved, literally. I can’t tell you how many copies of past issues I’ve seen, pages dog-eared, cover battered, edges torn. And, you know? I love seeing this magazine that our team has put so much hard work into being appreciated so completely. This issue is truly a community keepsake, but its value comes not from the paper, but from the health care heroes within its pages.
From the bottom of our hearts, Team SML would like to thank the many health care professionals of the Coast for their dedication to caring for our community. Reading about the men and women in this issue, you’ll notice that many of them devote their days to helping those in need of medical care,
and their free time is spent in much the same way. Community involvement is a common thread among these heroes, and one that often goes unnoticed.
As a community, we are blessed to have so many health workers in our area. Even in the midst of a pandemic, we have never felt alone. Health care providers continually reminded us “We are here. We have a plan.” Our local medical offices have kept us informed, kept us safe, and altered their entire way of doing things, seemingly overnight, to meet our new needs. This is truly miraculous.
So please join us in celebrating these amazing men and women, today and every day. Donate meals to hospitals
and medical offices if you can, and share kind words of appreciation and encouragement with them whenever possible.
