As the strike comes to a close, I am delighted for you all to finally be done with the stress of the past three months. I would like to thank each and every one of you, for always making me feel so welcome. It has been my absolute pleasure, to not only meet all of you, but also get to know so many of you. Thank you for making my days spent at Headquarters so enjoyable and accepting my colonoscopy questions, you are truly a great group to be around.

For anyone who ever has any questions, a loss of insurance again, or feels as if they may not be able to pay for an upcoming colonoscopy, please always feel free to reach out to me. I will not be around as often, but I will always be available as a resource and do whatever I can to get you the help and services you need.

For those who signed up and were waiting to be scheduled for your colonoscopy, although we will no longer cover the service since you have regained insurance coverage, we will continue to insure that those appointments are made and you receive the services you need. To anyone who completed a Fit Kit, but has not yet received a gift card, they will be mailed to your home addresses for you.

If anyone has any questions of concerns, you may reach out to me at 518.525.8763.

Thank you again for allowing me to come and speak with you. It has been wonderful meeting all of you, and I hope to be able to run into you all again in the future. Congratulations on the strike being over, you all deserve to finally be back!

All my best,

Sam
