It’s been quite a ride over the last 10 years. We started our first medical clinic in Carrum, Victoria. This was a tricky project since it involved connecting a previous café with a three-bedroom house and turning it into a medical clinic. Somehow, we managed to open the doors on 25 March 2013.
Seeing then that we were quickly able to take on tricky projects, we kept going, opening a group of medical clinics in Victoria, and later taking on the challenge of running the medical services on Hamilton Island, Queensland.
Along the way, we’ve always maintained an interest in helping the elderly, and so, in 2022 we commenced operating our home care company, Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care. After years of preparation and planning, we were finally able to connect this dot with the clinics, and offer our elderly patients a chance to treat and use us as a true “one-stop shop”. This has been a real highlight along the way.
These days Atticus Health is also heavily involved in a nationwide telehealth service (Doctor in My Pocket) which we see continuing to grow.
And don’t forget our slow-burning projects – our healthy energy drink, e15, and of course, our very own comic character, Dratticus, who continues to save the day!
All of this, the whole adventure, could not have been made possible had it not been for the support of our patients, and the communities we find ourselves being a part of. Thank you. As well as those communities, the staff, family and friends who have helped us get here certainly deserve a special mention. A couple of staff in fact have been there right from the start. These are Helen Procter, Practice Nurse Carrum, and Clare Westlow, Group Practice Manager. Well done to both of you and thank you for your tireless contributions over the years. There is quite a few other staff who’ll be celebrating 10 years in 2024 – another cause for a party no doubt.
All in all, we hope that our little company, Atticus Health, has made a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of all the people we have touched. Like day 1, we still remain committed to the cause of making our communities stronger through the delivery of outstanding, compassionate healthcare. And indeed, now with the addition of homecare, we look forward to integrating health and social services, to go on to impact more lives, for the better, throughout Australia.
Please do feel free to follow our journey on the commemorative timelines in which we will be placed in each clinic.
Thank you once again for celebrating our 10 year anniversary with us, and here’s to 100 more!
Best wishes,
Floyd
