Get Ready for an Action Packed Summer

Team Jarrell is gearing up for an action packed summer!  Our 2014 version of Flat Dr. Kevin will begin next week so patients are encouraged to join in the fun and take pictures of themselves this summer with Flat Dr. Kevin for a chance at some great prizes.  Patients may see the member of Team Jarrell dishing up servings of strawberry shortcake at the Strawberry Festival in downtown Kokomo on Thursday, June 5.  And, last but not least, our 2014 Beach Bash has been set for Thursday, July 10 at Kokomo.  It's going to be quite a summer for all!

It's been snowing on and off all day, but the members of Team Jarrell are still excited to be taking some time later this afternoon to assist the Greater Kokomo Alliance.  We will be helping plant the flower cuttings that will eventually grow into the beautiful flower baskets that will adorn downtown Kokomo later this spring, summer and fall.  The Alliance has done an outstanding job helping to beautify downtown and we are proud to be able to lend a hand to their efforts.

Team Jarrell traveled to Chicago last week for a few days of educational seminars.  Everyone had a great time at the meeting, learned a lot, and loved Chicago.  It's always good to get away but it's equally as good to come home and see the smiling faces of our patients!

Today we celebrate Read Across America Day!  Books can set our imaginations on fire and take us to places we might never see in person.  We pity the person who has never blown past their bedtime caught up in a book so good it's almost impossible to put down.  What book sets your imagination on fire? 

Team Jarrell Gets Ready for Jarrell Jeopardy

The members of Team Jarrell are gearing up for one of their favorite activities during lunch this Wednesday:  Jarrell Jeopardy.  What started as a "team building" exercise for a single staff meeting has become an annual tradition.  Team members have to give Alex Trebek (Carrie) 5 things no one knows about them which she groups into categories on a Jeopardy Board.  During the competition, team members blow into party horns to ring in and try to guess which team member is being described.  Needless to say, Jarrell Jeopardy is a blast with the sound of horns honking, a lot of shouting and much laughter.  Makes for a great lunch activity!

Attention Patients:  if you have an appointment Wednesday, February 12 or Thursday, February 13, be sure to wear hearts!  The members of Team Jarrell will be wearing hearts to celebrate Valentine's Day and you are encouraged to do the same!  Patients who wear hearts to their appointments on Feb. 12 and 13 will be entered to win a $10 gift card of their choice.  So, show us your heart; we will be looking for it!

It's February and Cupid has been shooting hearts as fast as he can. Our office is a mess with hearts stuck everywhere! In Dr. Kevin’s "Count the Cupids" Contest (actually count the Hearts Cupid has thrown around), patients are asked to give us their best guess as to the number of hearts scattered around the office. The prize for our February contest is a Kodak EasyShare C195 Digital Camera. The contest will run February 3 - February 28. The winner will be chosen at random from all correct entries submitted or the guess that comes the closest. So, start counting hearts, everyone!
