🍵 Thank You, Yulin Dolin of TeaMaze!
We are so grateful to Yulin Dolin of TeaMaze for joining us and sharing her knowledge and passion for tea! 💚
Yulin gave us a wonderful introduction to loose leaf teas, teaching us about the different varieties, how to properly prepare them to make the best cup of tea, and the many potential benefits of incorporating a variety of teas into our daily lives.
It was such an enjoyable and educational experience—and we may have discovered a new appreciation for slowing down and enjoying a good cup of tea! ☕️
Thank you, Yulin, for sharing your expertise, answering our questions, and giving us the opportunity to learn something new. We truly appreciate you taking the time to be our guest speaker!
🌿 Here’s to good tea, good health, and good company! 🌿

We're deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Dr. Dmitriy Zak, who died on August 25 at the age of 57.

Dr. Zak joined Baxter Health in 2019 and later practiced with Highlands Oncology on our campus, where he cared for cancer patients in Mountain Home and the surrounding communities with remarkable skill and compassion. To his patients, he was far more than a physician. He was a steady, kind presence during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. We are grateful for every year he spent serving this community, and we will not forget him.

Our deepest condolences go out to his wife, Dr. Veronica Zak, his son Leon and his wife Laura, his son Gregory, his granddaughter Matilda, his colleagues, patients and all who loved him.

View Dr. Dmitriy Zak's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
