After 38 years of practicing medicine in Amery I am hanging up my stethoscope. I've enjoyed being your physician and you will never know the impact you've had on my life. Many of you have come into the hospital/clinic and "healed" my spirit with your stories and personalities. The joy of sharing the birth of your children, the tough times of illness/death, and the rewards of healing have been a blessing. You've exposed your mind, body, and spirit fully trusting me to help in whatever way possible andI am humbled and grateful for that opportunity.

I would like to THANK YOU by throwing a party at Amery Ale Works, Tuesday September 19 (rain date September 26) from 4-7 PM.  Appetizers will be served. I am thanking “you,” so please no gifts. If you feel the need to show your gratitude, a donation can be made to Haiti by visiting www.chihaiti.org  and following the donate drop down menu. Personal checks can be sent to CHI, PO Box 5908, Coralville Iowa 52241. Please place “Dr. Paul’s thank you” in the additional comments or memo line.
