Last week Executives from Blue Shield were here to recognize D&D as their top Medicare Producer for Northern California. This is a great honor and we want to recognize Catherine Lumsden and Linda Hoang-Chao for their tireless work in this area. Thank you very much ladies for your incredible work. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thank you.

Fresno Office: New Phone System Update
We are pleased to announce that Eric Rushing has joined our Company and we’ll be heading up all telecommunications.
As many of you know, Eric has worked with us in a consultant capacity over many years. We recognize that we have had phone issues over the last several months in all offices. We are preparing to make a substantial investment in the technology infrastructure of our Company that will address many issues, including phones. This will also pave the way for a new phone system for us in 2024. We trust that Eric will be instrumental in this transition.
In the interim, all phone related problems should be directed to Eric at [email protected], 559-437-6868. Thank you!
