The Smile That Starts the Journey: Meet Carol 👋👏

First impressions are everything, and at Meadway Health Centre, we know that excellent care begins the moment a patient walks through the door or picks up the phone.

That’s why this , we want to shine a spotlight on Carol, our incredible Clinic Coordinator. As the first point of contact for all appointments, Carol is the face and voice of Meadway.

In line with this year’s theme, ‘Every Interaction Matters,’ Carol ensures that every patient is greeted with a warm smile and a helpful attitude. Whether someone is feeling anxious about an appointment or just needs a question answered, Carol sets a positive tone that makes all the difference in their care journey.

A huge thank you to Carol and all our front-of-house staff for embodying the true spirit of patient experience!
