thinking, including tying our shoes together, but we were able to accomplish the goal. I really believe that the couple days of challenges like these, as well as some great discussions, created an even stronger bond between us all. As a practice, I believe we should be a great place for patients and team members alike. To achieve that, we’ve been asking questions and defining our culture as a practice and the environment we hope to create. After all, it’s hard to do great work if you’re not happy with your job. To provide the best, most personal care to our patients, we have to function as a team. The old cliche is that a good office treats their patients like family. Well, it’s very hard to do that if you don’t function like one as a staff. Maybe we should start calling these getaways our Trailridge Family Reunions.

Development comes in many forms. Of course, we always want to provide a place where team members can grow in their careers and skill sets. But we also hope they have opportunities to grow as parents, children, friends, community members, and in every other type of relationship they have.
Before I sign off, I’d like to remind everyone that we’ll be holding our annual Stars, Stripes, and Smiles event in October. On that day, we provide free dentistry to active-duty military, veterans, and their family members. It’s one of the most rewarding days on our calendar, and we’re looking forward to it. Stay tuned for more information about this special event.
