A note from Verena

Thank you for 39 years

Dear Patients and Community,
I am wanting to let you know that I will be closing my practices as of June 18th 2026. Rather than an ending, I see this as a sabbatical as I begin planning my next adventure. It has truly been a privilege to be a part of your care. I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me, and it has been an honor to support your health and well-being over the years.

You are, of course entitled to a copy of your medical records. All records will be securely maintained for at least seven years in accordance with Massachusetts regulations. All patient records will be sent to Desert River Solutions, after June 18th they will be the new custodians. Starting on July 1st please start requesting your medical records from them. To request your records please visit the site listed below to sign and return the medical release form. All instructions are on their website.

Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your care. I will always value the time we have shared and wish you continued health and wellness.
With warm regards,
Verena Smith & the Gift of Health Team
