Dr. Parelman set for retirement

 

Wishing Dr. Joseph Parelman a happy and fulfilling retirement

  After more than 30 years of dedicated service, Dr. Parelman is retiring from providing ophthalmology surgical services at Bates County Memorial Hospital. Since 1990, his expertise in cataract and other eye surgeries has been invaluable to our community, offering patients the convenience of receiving care close to home.

Dr. Parelman’s final day with us was today, January 20, and we celebrated his incredible contributions with a departmental lunch organized by Surgery Dept. Manager Kristie McKee, RN, and a visit from our CEO, Greg Weaver.

Dr. Parelman is looking forward to spending more time in Colorado, enjoying outdoor activities and the next chapter of his life.
Thank you, Dr. Parelman, for your years of service and commitment to the health of our community. You will be missed!
