Every Friday our staff meets virtually in a video meeting that unites us across offices, homes and hearts. We take time to care for the caregivers.Dr. Ravi Vadlamudi was in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake and ran a free clinic in the aftermath of Katrina. He gave the Packard staff his very personal insights from those times. Hannah Hyde, Behavioral Health Therapist shared ways to self-care in this time of tremendous uncertainty. Although we listen remotely, the impact of these meetings is intimate and powerful.

Talented and compassionate people working together to make a difference – that’s the essence of the Packard Health care team.

Growing up in Miami, poor and uninsured in a single mother household, Ron Romero could never have envisioned that one day he would be honored as 2018 Clinician of the Year by the Michigan Primary Care Association (MPCA).
