How Far Will You Grow Door Decorating Contest

Every year at MedCare we choose a theme that will represent our goals for the upcoming year.  Tied to this theme are many fun activities for our staff and our patients throughout the year!  This year's theme is "How Far Will You Grow" as many of our goals for 2014 have to do with growth, both personally and professionally.  Last week, we held a door decorating contest at all locations and encouraged staff to use their talents and creativity to bring our How Far Will You Grow theme to life.  Our creative staff went above and beyond to make some beautifully decorated doors and the full display can be found on our Facebook page but we wanted to give the winners a little special recognition here!
