Dear Patient,
Greetings from Partnership Health Center.
I am sending this letter to let you know that I am leaving Partnership Health Center in early April 2025. I am moving back to the East Coast where I am from to be closer to my parents and in-laws. This decision has taken many years and significant soul searching to come, but with aging parents and the birth of my daughters the call home has grown too strong. I have truly loved my time here in Missoula and with PHC.
We don’t yet have a final destination. Most likely it will be upstate New York or Southern New Hampshire.
It is with a heavy heart that I leave you. I have been the primary care physician for many of you for over 12 years and it has been a privilege to care for you. I have grown so much in this time as a clinician and a person and have you to thank for it. I will miss you so very much. You have trusted me with your health, and I am nothing but appreciative for that.
I’m happy to talk about this, please don’t hesitate to ask questions.
I will work with leadership at PHC to transition you to a new provider. Between now and then I am working to make sure your charts are as updated as much as possible to make these hand-offs smooth. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us at (406) 258-4789.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Paddock, MD, FAAFP
