Dr. Block is Retiring
03.28.2018It is with mixed emotions that we share the news that Dr. Donna Block is planning to retire on April 26th. Since founding Clinic Sofia in 2004, Dr. Block has built a unique clinic to meet the needs of many wonderful women throughout the Twin Cities. Thanks to her vision and care, she leaves behind a community of strong, healthy women and a team that is proud to carry on her legacy to empower women with the care, information and tools to be as happy and healthy as they can be. “It has been my honor to care for you at all of the stages of your lives. You have taught me so much about courage, resiliency, forgiveness and happiness,” said Dr. Block. “You have been very clear about the environment in which you received your quality care and we listened. I am incredibly confident in the providers at Clinic Sofia, who all have the knowledge, skill, compassion and desire to care for you and your family members.” If you are a patient of Dr. Block’s, please rest assured that you will be matched with another provider at the clinic. If you have any questions or if there is someone you would like to see, please reach out to us. You can view all of our doctor’s biographies at www.ClinicSofia.com. Lastly, we hope you will join us for a fun, open house celebration to honor Dr. Block. Come say goodbye and wish her well on her retirement. Her patients, colleagues and friends will gather on Thursday, April 26 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Crave Galleria at 3520 W. 70th St. in Edina. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to sofia@clinicsofia.com. We’d love to have you join us! P.S. We are collecting photos of babies Dr. Block has delivered over the years to share in a slide show at her party.
