thesheriffofsodium.com/2024/03/15/mat…

Match Day is full of complex emotions. Some matched, some didn’t, some are staying near loved ones, and some are not. It’s okay to be happy, and okay to be sad. Every situation is unique. Don’t forget to check in on your friends, for both celebration and comfort. You all rock 🤙🏻

We applaud Rep. John Moolenaar for publicly supporting physician-led anesthesia care at the VA for our nation’s veterans, helping ensure they receive the highest quality of health care in Michigan and across America.

We love our residents! Thank you for all you do every single day!
