Dr. Perry began building her loyal client base in her hometown of Crandon in 1981. "I have had an incredibly rewarding career in medicine practicing in my hometown for the last 33 plus years," she said. "There is no place I would rather live and practice than in Crandon and if I had to do it again, I would do the exact same thing. There are no better people to be found anywhere."
Dr. Perry graduated from Crandon High School in 1966 as class valedictorian. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1970 and her medical degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1978. She completed her residency at Marshfield Clinic/Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield and received board certification in internal medicine in 1981. Also in 1981 she joined Northwoods Medical Center practicing in its Crandon satellite and she has been in her hometown ever since. Dr. Perry has also held positions as the medical director of the Nu-Roc Nursing Home, city of Crandon health officer, Forest County Health Department medical director and she is a member of the Forest County Board of Health.
"Ministry Medical Group is extremely honored Dr. Perry shared her passion of providing care to the residents of Crandon and surrounding communities," said Robert Sookochoff, MD, president of Ministry Medical Group. "In a profession where so many ask "What's in it for me?" the question on her mind has always been "What more can I do for you?" She is a credit to her profession."
Dr. Perry and her husband Tom have a total of four children and 13 grandchildren.
An open house to honor Dr. Perry will be held Friday, Nov. 14, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Ministry Medical Group in Crandon, located at 400 West Glen Street. The public is welcome to stop by and wish Dr. Perry well on her retirement.
