Did you know we’re a hub for medical research and you can be part of it?

Hello and we hope you’re staying warm and safe through these cold weeks! In this month’s newsletter we’re focusing on two things: Our important and active role in medical research and on showcasing and celebrating our Billing Team.  And remember, if you or your family members are feeling ill, please remember that we’re just a call or a click away when you need us. We hope you enjoy the quick read!

A message from our Medical Director

Each month, we reflect on our promise of “Helping you live your best life.” It takes our whole team to keep this promise. And while our front line healthcare team are the professionals you see most, there are highly skilled and committed team members behind the scenes that are also an important part of your Winterberry experience. This month we’re showcasing our Billing Team so you can get to know these vital departments better.

Visit our new Research Page to find out more!

We have recently launched our new Research page on our website. Visit it to find out more about studies we are part of and if any of them are a right fit for you. If you’re wondering why you may want to consider participating in a medical trial ask yourself: Are you ready to make a difference in healthcare while exploring new treatment options? If the answer is yes, or even a maybe, visit our page and get in touch if you’re interested!

Team Spotlight

Billing Team, Rebecca and Brittney

Meet our Billing Team! This is an important team that helps keep Winterberry running smoothly and efficiently.

Helping You To Know Us Better

Meet Rebecca and Brittney, our Billing Team

At Winterberry, we love to recognize and celebrate our team and this month, we’re shining our light on Rebecca and Brittney from our Billing Team. In each of these Team Showcase articles we aim to get to know different team members, their backgrounds and their experience at Winterberry. We hope you enjoy this quick Q+A!

Brittney and Rebecca, tell us about your work at Winterberry. What’s your role?

We both do the OHIP billing for the clinic as well as help the administration team when needed. 

What is your educational and work background? 

We both have college degrees in Medical Office Administration.  Rebecca went to Mohawk College, Brittney went to Everest College and both of us graduated with Honors. 

Impressive! What made you want to be in the billing department?

Brittney – I wanted a change from the first role I had at Winterberry which was in administration. I expressed an interest in expanding on my Medical Office Administration knowledge and within my first year, was given the opportunity to become part of the billing department.

Rebecca – I really enjoyed the billing portion of my college program and the opportunity was presented to move into the billing department about a year into my career with Winterberry.
