I hope all had a very Merry Christmas and that you are now looking ahead optimistically to the New Year. As we reflect on the year past and celebrate the new, there are many traditions we tend to follow in America. Many of us wear party hats, blow horns, toast champagne, throw confetti, watch the ball drop at Times Square in New York or bang pots and pans at the stroke of midnight, when the new year begins. For good luck, an old Irish tradition is to eat black-eyed peas or cabbage on January 1st. New Year's Day is a recognized national holiday and offices are closed, families gather for more holiday cheer. The song, Auld Lang Syne, which is traditionally played all over the world on New Year’s is a melody that’s recognizable everywhere, albeit, I know of no one who ever learned the lyrics. For you history buffs, some sources say the song was written Robert Burns in the 1700's, with other reports suggesting that an earlier rendition was composed prior to 1700. The song is Scottish and the song title literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days."
While we look anew to the year ahead, we also reflect on old friends and the past and what it has meant to us. 2008 was a difficult year for many…I personally know several families who have a beloved overseas at war, there are those struck by misfortune: economic effects of war, high gas prices, stock market declines, hurricanes, lay-offs and down-sizing, not to mention any personal hardships experienced. My heart extends to you. We have all watched headline news and have had to put life in perspective, some making some pretty significant life changes to adjust to new demands or crises. Whatever held us back in 2008, we must certainly move forward bravely and with hope and faith, personally and professionally.
For Trident Health Resources, Inc., we remain fiscally strong into 2009 with continuing hopes of growing our business base and constantly improving our technology and processes at our existing accounts. Our future is bright and it is dependent on good people, which we pride ourselves on selection and retention of the best. This Spring we will acknowledge the entrance of Trident’s 21st year in business under the same ownership. It wasn’t luck that brought us this far along. We got here because of consistency, a patient-first attitude and the experience to respond quickly and effectively to our hospitals’ needs for perfusion staffing and equipment. We work in partnership with our clients.
Your readership here is appreciated! If you haven’t visited our website for a while, please check out www.tridenthealth.com as well as our sister site, www.perfusioncommunity.com.

I’m personally excited about our direction for the new year and I hope you’ll visit this blog frequently and comment often.
Wishing you and yours a Very Happy New Year.
