Retirement bound

Jane MacBride

An EIOH family member since 1998, Jane MacBride started as a receptionist and increased her responsibilities over the years to administrative assistant for the Faculty Practice. She will miss seeing all of Eastman’s wonderful patients, but will enjoy more time spent exercising, quilting and seeing her grandchildren play sports during the week.

Dr. Dan Barletta

After 25 years of serving as part time faculty, Dr. Daniel Barletta has retired. Working primarily with GPR residents, he also served patients with IDD in the operating room on a regular basis.

“The residency program is a learning session for both the resident and myself,” he said. “I felt I learned more from them than I could ever give them from my life in private practice.”

Dr. Barletta said he enjoyed helping residents as they embarked on new challenges like more advanced training or how to survive in private practice. “This experience will be the thing I miss the most.”

Now that he and his wife Nancy have moved to Florida, he’s learning how to play golf, getting back into wood working and awaiting their grandchild’s arrival this year.
