As 2021 comes to end, and we begin to look ahead into 2022, we would like to announce that Bob Michaels will be stepping down as Chairman of the Smith Alling, PS Aging and Disability Section and retiring as of December 31.
A message from Bob Michaels:
"It has been an honor and privilege to get to know and serve all of you, and you will be greatly missed as I move into the next phase of my life. I am not sure in what way I will reinvent myself in retirement but it will be serving in some capacity, and I hope we will continue to cross paths. You will be in great hands as my practice transitions to Andrea Brewer and Kelly Delaat-Maher at Smith Alling. Andrea Brewer will be assuming Chairman of the firm's Aging and Disability Section. I encourage all of you to continue using Andrea, Kelly and Smith Alling, PS as your trusted advisors."
As always, your health and well-being is our utmost concern.
Best Wishes for a Great New Year, from all of us at Tacoma Elder Care
