Gary    Office Manager
    "Hello, my name is Gary and I'm the office manager for Dr. Baca. I'm sure you will get to know me, too, when you visit the Center for Health. I handle the billing, ordering, repairs, laundry, snow removal, shopping and changing light bulbs. I also cover the reception desk for Jeannine and maintain compliance with government policies and do all the numerous task that the office needs to stay running smoothly. I joined the Center in January of 2000. Before moving to North Platte in the winter of 2000, I lived in Hastings, Nebraska for 28 years and worked at the Perfect Circle manufacturing plant for 23 years. It has definitely been an exciting career change for me. I hope to see you soon and assure you that all of us at the Center for Health are committed to serving you, our valued patient."

I strive to keep the schedule and insurance information in order and the phone answered. I joined the Center in December 2001 and continue to learn new things every day. I enjoy learning about the supplements, health products and services that we provide to our patients. This is the first time I've worked in a doctor's office and I thoroughly enjoy what I do and the people I work with. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Miami University. I've had the good fortune to reside on both coasts before settling in North Platte. I'll do everything that I can to make your first visit and every visit with us as smooth as possible."
