Martha



Next up.. Martha Martha Martha😏


Martha is one of the first faces you will see when you enter the office.  She has been with EHS for 7 years and her title is Patient Care Coordinator.  Her tasks include:  scheduling, answering the phone, putting together daily charts and a multitude of other things to help keep the office running smoothly.  

She has been married to her husband, Rick, for 37 years.  She has 3 children, 4 grand children and 2 great-grandchildren.  She also has 4 golden retrievers who are all a special part of her family.  

Martha has kindly answered the questions that I have asked.. 
So here goes nothin' ..


  • What are some of your hobbies?..
           -   I love chunky rings and doing my nails a few times a week, nothing too fancy, just trying to keep it fun and spending time with our spoiled dogs.


  • What is your favorite part about working at EHS?..
             -  I enjoy greeting the patients, challenging myself to try to call everyone by name... I don't always get that right!  I really love the way we
        all interact, and are friends... It's nice to have awesome bosses and co-workers.


  • Do you have a favorite band?..
             -   I like contemporary Christian music and I also like Country Music... Garth Brooks, Reba, Vince Gill, Diamond Rio, Brooks & Dunn... I guess those are the "oldies".  


  • What is the best vacation that you have been on?.. 
            -  Best vacations... it's hard to list just one.  While we haven't been on many the stand outs were the two cruises in 2008 and 2010... What fun.
         Going to Colorado with my parents, siblings and their spouses for a week was a hoot, and I can't forget to mention a few trips
         to Florida with a great group of internet friends, and staying at one's beach house in St. Pete Beach!  

  • Last but not least... what is one thing that you cannot resist?..
             - I LOVE DARK CHOCOLATE!

 I hope everyone enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about Martha. I hope you all have a safe, enjoyable weekend.  Until the next time..

EAT YOUR WAY TO BETTER EYE HEALTH

Eat Your Way to Better Eye Health If you’re like most people starting the new year, you may have made a resolution to eat healthier in 2023.  Whether you’re starting to fall off the wagon or holding strong, it’s never too late to start eating well.  There are several vitamins and nutrients specific to the health of the eyes, and chances are, what is good for the eyes is also good for your overall health. 1. Vitamin A     - Required for the formation of rhodopsin, a pigment found in the retina that allows us to see in low-light        conditions.  Deficiency could cause "night blindness" due to impaired dark adaptation.     - Supports healthy functioning of surfaces in the eye like the cornea and conjunctiva.  Deficiency could lead to        dryness and corneal scarring.     - Good sources : orange-colored fruit and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and apricots. Eggs   ...

  Welcome Dr. Rachel Browne To EHS!!   Hello there! Dr. Rachel here. Last week marked two months since joining Eye Health Solutions and what a busy time it has been getting to know my way around the office.  Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me thus far, and to those who continue to trust me with their eye care needs.

This coming May I will have been in practice for 10 years, and I am thrilled to continue my career working alongside exceptional physicians like Dr. Jason and Dr. Lily.  I really enjoy working with patients of all ages - infants to seniors - and I love that every day is different than the next.   I was born and raised in Pella, where I currently reside with my husband, Dustin, and our three children: Taylen (8), Noah (5), and Eden (2).  We love being a part of a small co...

Dangerous Generic Artificial Tears

-
  I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I wanted to take a moment and talk about the recalled artificial tears that you may have heard about on the news. I have had a few calls from patients over the last couple of weeks about these. They are Ezricare non-preserved artificial tears and were recalled on February 2nd. There have been 55 reported infections with 5 people losing vision and one person dying. How can you die from an eye drop you ask... Eye drops, like all medications, are absorbed into the body as well as the eye. In this case the bacteria got into the blood stream and the patient most likely became septic, which is an infection in the blood.  These particular drops are not any I have ever heard of and I have never seen them locally. They are manufactured in India. The particular issue with these is that they are non-preserved so any bacteria that is in the bottle has nothing to stop it from growing. The photos of the drop seem to show a large bottle. The non-pr...
