Dr. Tony Roon a true hero in our community

During this holiday season I wanted to take some time to thank Dr. Tony Roon for his dedication and drive to complete the new health clinic in North Everett. Without his vision and hard work this clinic would not have become a reality for this community.

Thanks to Dr. Roon, thousands of people, young and old, who can’t afford health insurance (and can’t see a doctor because of it) are going to be able to get good medical care. His efforts to serve this large portion of our community who are not being treated for their medical problems because they can’t afford it is remarkable. Dr. Roon is a true hero and someone we should all be thankful for during our thoughts and prayers this holiday season. Early detection and proper treatment are the keys to a healthy community. His efforts to help those in need of good medical care is going to make a monumental difference in making Snohomish County a safer place to live. He is providing hope for those, who until now, may have not had any and is treating our souls. God bless you, Dr. Roon.
