Celebrating Mother’s Day

As we have all seen before, mothers always find a way of putting everyone before themselves. And though we admire their selflessness, we are honored as a company to have the opportunity to do everything we can to take care of our mothers every day. So many of our employees are mothers themselves and we love that they choose to work everyday as a mother for mothers. We are also so grateful to have the amazing obstetric practice that we do that escorts these women into motherhood. Every single one of our employees is instrumental in making taking care of these mothers possible. While we celebrate mothers this month, we will continue to take care of these mothers every day. We are so thankful for all of our employees for working so hard and diligently to make this place the best it can be for our patients.

We feel blessed to be able to practice what we believe is the most honorable profession in the world; to take care of our mothers.

– Dr. Drew Howard

Paulo is one of the Howard Center’s most valuable employees whom we cherish and are extremely grateful for! We quite like him!

      Callie Tucker
      Front Desk
      $250 & Trophy

      Callie has been the MOST positive this month. This is not her first or second time getting this award. She is an employee that knows what to do, when to do it, and asks the appropriate questions, and she doesn’t take the short cuts! When there is an issue, Callie doesn’t sit around and ask what to do or who to call, she does it! When someone is having a down day, she reminds them of why they should bring their spirits up. Being extremely shorthanded amidst COVID-19 Pandemic, she has been the employee of 10 different places it seems. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do Callie!
