    We would like to thank Dr. Jones for her time with us. She is a very busy physician and, therefore, is stepping away from the Pines to focus on many other areas of her practice. The Nursing Leadership team and our medical director, Dr. Cross, are in the process of reviewing the residents that Dr. Jones was assisting to determine which physician is best to support the resident moving forward. The nursing team will connect with residents and family members who are affected by this change. We will now have four physicians supporting the residents at the Pines: Dr. Cross, Dr. Dechert, Dr. Whynot, and Dr. Hammel.

    We wish Dr. Jones all the best!
