PRACTICE UPDATE
Dr. S. LAVITT

Please see Dr. Lavitt's letter for important updates.
Dr. Lavitt will leave her practice on June 1, 2025, with Dr. P. Kaur taking over her patients. A transition period is set from April 16 to June 1, 2025. Please complete the FHO registration form promptly, as we will not accept new patients, and those registered with Dr. Rutherford will not be included in this roster. 

For questions, contact the clinic.
