Celebrate PA Week

October 12, 2017

Gothenburg Health is so thankful for our two PAs, Aaron Salomon and Natalie Waskowiak. Aaron and Natalie do an exceptional job of providing high-quality patient care to our community.

What is #PAweek?
Each year from October 6-12, we celebrate National PA Week, which recognizes the PA profession and its contributions to the nation’s health.

This week is also an opportunity to raise awareness and visibility of the profession. Before it was a weeklong event, National PA Day was first celebrated on October 6, 1987, in honor of the 20th anniversary of the first graduating class of PAs from the Duke University PA program. October 6 is also the birthday of the profession’s founder, Eugene A. Stead, Jr., MD. Now the profession is 50 years strong!

My visits at Gothenburg Health have been incredible! The girls go out of their way to help and care. Outstanding! They have what it takes. I enter the front door and a wheelchair comes out for me. All through the visit, they are so kind, happy, joyful, helpful, it couldn't get better. It sure makes a difference to me and many others making it easier to visit Gothenburg Health.

Patient

My provider is conscientious about checking on past medical history, past visits related to the current one and drugs. Listens well, easy to visit with.

Patient

My child had a sprained ankle. Everyone at Gothenburg Health were so kind and supportive. Our provider got him x-rayed and fit with a boot without any wait!
