First Docs

Today, we reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his tireless commitment to service, equality, and justice. His words challenge us to look inward and ask how we can better serve those around us. This MLK Day, we’re reminded that every act of care, kindness, and service helps build a stronger, healthier future for all. #MLKDay #Service #HealthcareCommunity #PatientCare #SkilledNursing #FirstDocs

Did you hear about the skeleton who dropped out of medical school? He didn’t have the stomach for it. What type of candy sent the skeleton to the hospital? Jawbreakers. We think skeleton jokes are pretty humerus. We could patella them all day. Hold on, we gotta carpal more!!! What did the hardworking skeleton get from his boss at the end of the year? A bone-us. What did the doctor say to the skeleton who had a temperature of 103 degrees? “Looks like you are running a femur.” Happy Halloween, friends and colleagues! Hope you can bring a little fun into your work day - share a laugh, enjoy your favorite candy, or take a quick break to enjoy the beautiful fall season. ?? Here’s to a fun, memorable, safe and Happy Halloween!
