Metro Health Services Inc. would like to wish John Hooper, C.Ped (c) Department Head of Pedorthic Services, all the best in the future as he takes up the position of Athletic Director at Hampton High School this fall. Many of you have had the pleasure of working with John over the past several years and may have also attended one of the many lectures and training sessions he has provided. 

While John will be greatly missed as part of our team, we want to assure everyone that he has been working diligently to prepare the Pedorthics department at Metro Health Services for this transition. To that end, Derek Whalen, C.Ped(c) will assume the role of department head while Brian Comeau, C.Ped.Tech(c) will continue to provide excellent technical support. This Pedothics team will continue to provide a full compliment of consultation and assessment services, footwear, and biomechanical devices at the high standards that you expect.

Because of his ongoing interest in the field of Pedorthics, and his commitment to you and his many clients, John intends to continue to operate his private clinic, Foot Health Center (Saint John and Hampton Offices) as an after hours clinic (evenings and weekends) . Metro Health Services will continue to manufacture custom foot orthotics for that facility, on an ongoing basis.

Please direct any clinical questions you may have to Derek Whalen C.Ped(c) at Metro Health 648-6150. Our Manager, Debbie Maber, will be happy to address any inquires of a more general nature.
