We Treat You Like Family… Only BETTER.
The other day I saw an ad for a car dealer whose schtick was that they ”treat you like family”. Hmmm… had to think about that for a moment. The last time my family got together, there was the usual name-calling, teasing, subtle insults, crying and yelling. Is that how I want to be treated by others – much less a car salesman?
But then I had a chance to think about it a bit more. The people bickering at the dinner table are also the ones we care about most deeply. They’re the ones we would sacrifice anything for and support no matter what. And God help anyone who tries to mess with another member of the family!
Our team at IDS is much like that second version of a family. If something happens to one of us, the whole team jumps in to help and lend support. Doesn’t matter if it’s a sick child, a bump on the head, a pump that won’t stop screaming, or a tornado just a few miles away. It’s all for one and one for all.
It warms my heart to be part of such a compassionate group. This level of support translates over to how we care for our clients. Your goals are our goals. Your challenges are our challenges. And ultimately, your successes are our successes. They say you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, but we can’t help but take your well-being very personally. Can you say that about all of your healthcare providers?
If there is any aspect of your diabetes life that you want to improve, please give us an opportunity to help make it happen. We promise to treat you like family!
As always, I hope you enjoy this month’s edition of Diabetes Bites. Be sure to check out the clinicians’ columns, news bites, recipes, and fun stuff (trivia, survey, special offers) towards the end. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
Together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish!
