My Eulogy For Mt Rainier Clinic:

It was a tough day, Tuesday February 8, 2022. The last day of a dream by Russell Kolbo, D.C., N.D., The Mt. Rainier Clinic and Spa.
I have known, been associated with, Dr. Kolbo for over 50 years and he has been a friend, doctor, mentor, and colleague. But, all earthly things come to an end and this day was the end for the Mt Rainier Clinic.
This is also a new beginning for each of us who have been a part of the Mt. Rainier Clinic as a doctor, a nurse, a medical assistant, a colon hydro-therapist, a massage therapist, an acupuncturist, an administrative assistant, friend, and/or a patient. We have choices as to how we can view this ending and/or beginning experience. And the choices are not mutually exclusive. The choices are neither good nor bad and at the same time they can be both good and bad, as we make them. What has happened is “what’s so” and was exactly the way things were supposed to be. How can we be sure of that? Because, that is exactly the way they were, the way it ended!
Our choices include being sad and mourn Dr. Kolbo’s loss, our loss, the community’s loss. And/or we can be happy looking forward to the future with the experience, the knowledge, the relationships we have had the opportunity to have over the time we were associated with Mt. Rainier Clinic. We can be sad that all the services that were in one place are being dispersed and/or we can be happy, thankful, for what we were able to experience and learn in one place. Now it is time to go and learn and grow in some other place while sharing what we have learned at Mt. Rainier Clinic and from Dr. Kolbo.
This is the ending of this version of the Mt Rainier Clinic and it is a kick in the butt forcing us to move forward and grow in another place and manner.
I, we, wish for you a happy and healthy future and hope, know, that this is the beginning of something new and wonderful for each of us.

Fred Bomonti, D.C.

Dear Patients and Colleagues,

It is with great difficulty we are sending this letter to notify you that Mt Rainier Clinic and Rainier Medical Spa will be closing their doors on February 4th, 2022. Due to emergent health conditions, Dr. Russell Kolbo, DC, ND and his representation have decided to relinquish building ownership and sell both practices.

The new acting management has given staff an end date of February 4th, 2022 so that they may move forward with the plans for the building. We are doing our best to get a hold of our patients to prevent further inconveniences; however, we have limited staff. Please use our website for the most up to date information.

The continuity of your care continues to be our staff’s priority. Please visit our websites to find a list of referrals. We encourage you to also contact your insurance for recommendations of providers in your network.

You will find our HIPAA compliant authorization form enclosed with this letter. These forms can also be accessed on our websites www.mtrainierclinic.com and www.rainiermedspa.com. This form is necessary to release a copy of your medical records to you or a new physician. Please complete the form, and return it.

After the close of each practice, signed medical releases will be directed to a HIPAA compliant medical record custodian company. We will update our website once we have a contract with a records management company so that you may continue to access your records. Please understand, Mt Rainier Clinic and Rainier Medical Spa will each require their own release as they are separate businesses.

Thank you for your continued support over the years! We are grateful to have been part of your health journey.

Sincerely,

Russell Kolbo, DC, ND

Thank you to our Veterans! We sincerely appreciate the sacrifices you made and continue to make.

We would like to give a shout-out to our very own in-house veteran, for his 3.5 years of service. He was assigned to the USS Carl Vinson: CVN-70 aircraft carrier.

Keep your eyes on this guy! He’s working hard and will soon be a Certified Medical Assistant Phlebotomist! 👏👏👏
