Patient Praises MVHC Doctor in Letter to CEO

Dear Mr. Jones;

My name is George Mathews, Vice Commander and live Bugler for the Burney Veterans Honor Guard. My wife and I have lived in Burney for the past 33 years. I was at Mountain Valleys Health Center in Burney and I was given a “questionnaire’ on the service at the Burney Clinic. I filled it out and rendered the service there over all “excellent.” In October, I was transported via Air Ambulance from Fall River Mills to Reno Nevada. After 2 surgeries and a 4 day stay, I was released. Upon returning to Burney, I had to have follow-up consultations. That’s how I met Dr. Babb. Henceforth that is why I am writing this letter. I have, talked to over 2 dozen people, fellow veterans and their wives who think Dr. Babb is a wonderful doctor. His professionalism and protocol is exceptional. He conducts and projects himself with professionalism, dignity, and how he cares for people is above and beyond the call of duty. It is this dedication and diligence that makes him an asset to our community. It is a dedicated professional like Dr. Babb that makes living in Burney, CA enjoyable.

Mayers Memorial Hospital Health Fair & MVHC Patients

Mountain Valleys Health Centers (MVHC) is grateful to our friends and partners at Mayers Memorial Hospital District for providing discounted labs to patients at their 37^th Annual Community Health Fair on April 7, 2018. We understand that historically there has been some confusion on just what to “do” with the lab results and “next steps.” We have streamlined the process this year to create a better patient experience. So, what makes this year any different?

You, the patient, will receive a paper copy in the mail. If you wish to share the lab with your MVHC provider it is your responsibility to bring the paperwork to the clinic at your next appointment. Mountain Valleys Health Centers will NOT be receiving a copy. This ensures any “assumptions” on the status of the results. Thank you and we look forward to serving our patients!
