In the past year, success for many private practitioners was simply sustaining their practice through some very unsettling times. Just as Katrina wreaked havoc on our associates in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, so have industry upheavals such as POPTS, changes in legislature, payor consolidation and the shifting economy affected practices from coast to coast.

As in years past, and in years to come, we forge ahead diligently with determination and the desire to succeed, in our business and in our personal lives as well.

Our monthly newsletter includes a vignette on a member of our staff, and this month our Renewal Coordinator, Wendy Woodward is featured. I mention this because I feel that Wendy has achieved success not only as an outstanding employee of PREFERRED, but due to the values and morals she instills in her children. Of particular importance is the commitment of Wendy and her sons to our troops overseas.

Whether or not we believe individually or as a country in the ‘success’ of our efforts on the other side of the world, we should constantly remind ourselves of our great good fortune to be an American. Wendy, Dominic and Justin epitomize an American spirit.

On behalf of all of us here at PREFERRED Therapy Providers, Inc., here’s wishing all of you a most wonderful 2007 with our appreciation for your being a part of the PREFERRED network.
