He started his new job in April, however, he will return to work at JMHS in June & July.  Dr. Virji and his family will move to Dubai in August.

Dr. Virji and his family intend to keep their house in Dawson, return each December as well as during some of the summer months. They also plan to continue their Body Togs business in the Dawson location. His wife, Musarrat intends to keep her Esthetician business, Ultima Skincare, and see clients when they return. JMHS would like to wish Dr. Virji and his family the best with this new opportunity.

JMHS is staffed with six of the most knowledgeable and caring providers in the area. Drs.
