The practice will be closing on November 17, 2023
Patients and families of Dawn P. Rush, MD and Renee Richards, MD,
Please be advised that because of our retirement, I am discontinuing the practice of medicine on November 17, 2023. We will no longer be able to provide your medical care after that date. It has been an honor and privilege to have been your pediatric ophthalmologist, some of you for many years. We are grateful for the opportunity to have taken care of your family.
You may have an appointment already scheduled with us over the next several weeks, and we can discuss your transition to new care at that time. If you do not have an appointment and wish to begin the process of establishing care with a new Provider, a list of physicians is attached. Additionally, you may want to contact your insurance or local hospital upon receipt of this letter if you are not acquainted with another physician.
Of course, you may choose any provider, and you are not limited to the facilities or individuals listed. It will be up to you to take steps to connect with a provider of your choosing. If you require assistance making a transition please contact us.
I will provide you with a prescription for medication, glasses, and contact lenses which will terminate no longer than 30 days after my office is closed so that you can obtain new prescriptions from your new physician.
After closing, your health records from this Practice will be transferred to Morgan Records Management, LLC (the “Records Custodian”). The Records Custodian will continue to maintain your records in accordance with applicable confidentiality and security standards and with other applicable laws. Your records will be destroyed no less than 10 years and in specific instances up to the age of 21 after the last date of services you received.
If you wish to have a copy of your records sent to you or to another provider or facility, you may submit a written request to this office before November 17, 2023. After November 17, 2023, you may submit a written request to the Records Custodian:
