Our Staff
Our dedicated staff at our three clinics fall into four basic categories – Medical and Dental professionals, Medical and Dental assistants, Eligibility and Administration.
This small group has logged nearly 200 years of cumulative experience in treating our patients like family. This close knit bond between our staff and our patients serves the needs of the patients very well as familiarity tends to breed confidence in the care being received.
The environment in our clinics is quiet, friendly and professional. Everyone on our staff, without exception, has an innate instinct to put the patient first. They come to work each day with the knowledge that they will be helping to serve the medical and dental needs of a dedicated population of backstretch workers who have few alternative medical resources to turn to. Helping these workers serves to help all of us leave our respective CTHF clinics each day knowing that we have contributed to the welfare of a population less fortunate than us in many ways.
The CTHF believes that a happy and healthy backstretch worker leads to happy and healthier race horses, as these workers exercise, feed, watch over, groom and, like ones pets at home, fall in love with these magnificent animals.
