"Our May dinner program kept everyone's attention as we heard Dr. Shirley Conibear speak about her work in occupational medicine. She designs and implements programs for companies, such as A T & T, in order to keep employees safe and healthy in today's challenging environment. She shared numerous stories. . . such as developing disaster plans for companies that stock pile supplies and medications to meet potential medical needs.  Dr. Conibear and her late husband developed the company almost 30 years ago. She discussed the current flu breakout, vaccines, and prevention of illness. A fabulous and informative evening was presented.  Thank you Dr. Conibear!"
