On yesterdays blog, I wrote "Watch Us Grow!" and we are growing. Quickly! We have 18 people meeting their 1 year, tobacco free, SURVIVAL date within a 3 month period. Unfortunately, I don't have the prior 3 months of data 😞 I hope theres a number cruncher at Mayo that is capturing data and "Watching Us Grow!" I have a feeling the EX site is making a huge impact on the Surgeon General's progress reports. We all need to be incredibly proud of ourselves! Let's keep celebrating those anniversaries and bringing more people into the fold. Next up....Billy on August 3rd!!!
And the Important Update that caused me to edit my bog....HORNS TRUMPET....
TODAY is johio's 1 year anniversary!!!! Stop by and give him a big congrats!!
