Hello from Brooksville! A lot has been going on at Oak Hill Hospital since our last update. The most exciting news we’d like to share is that our new ED opened January 1! We have eagerly been awaiting this day over the last two years and were excited to move into our new home.

It finally seems as though things are starting to return to normal, or at least a new normal. We are seeing a return of our cold-averse patients. More and more campers pour into town every day, and condos in the area are busier than they have been in recent memory.

Our seniors and several core faculty attended ACEP in Boston last month, and from what they’ve shared with us had an amazing time. It was a great networking, educational, and relaxing break from the past 20 months! Several have already secured jobs or fellowships. We look forward to hearing more about their successes, and can’t believe we only have six more months together.

Residency interviews are in full swing! We’ve been fortunate enough to meet some truly stellar applicants. We would like to give a special shoutout to residents Drs. Denise Nelson and Kim Wolfe for organizing amazing pre-interview dinners. It is not easy to adapt the old traditions to our virtual reality, but they have made something special for both residents and applicants. ■
