Dr. Joshua Griffin, a graduate of Philadelphia High School, MSU, UMMC, and a resident in Urology at UMMC, is opening his own clinic, Revive Wellness Clinic of Oxford, in the near future.
Dr. Griffin is a Board Certified Urologist who has been a member of the Oxford medical community since 2018. In addition to his urology practice, he has developed an interest in hormone replacement therapy for men and women. For the last 3 years he has been using both hormone pellet therapy and injectable testosterone replacement for hormone optimization. In addition to hormone replacement therapy, they will offer other wellness therapies including peptide therapy, nutritional supplements and IV infusion hydration.
His practice has outgrown its current space, so he will open a new clinic in a larger facility. Revive Wellness Clinic will be located on South Lamar directly across from Oxford Urology Associates. He feels fortunate to have a dedicated team working with him to provide their patients with a truly concierge type of service that is unavailable anywhere else in Oxford. Congratulations!

A Bridal Shower was held at Philadelphia Elementary School recently honoring Rebecca Prince. The shower was given by her coworkers. Guests brought many very thoughtful and lovely gifts with their love and best wishes for her and John David Oubre who will be married in June.
The gift table had the words "Bride to Be" in inflated gold letters on the wall behind the table. Everyone selected refreshments from a variety of delectable delights including a fresh strawberry multi layered cake covered in strawberry cream cheese frosting with a border of sliced strawberries around the bottom layer. Cookies cut in wedding dress shapes and iced in white frosting and octagonal shaped cookies with the bride and groom's names written on each one were a perfect touch. Both the cake and cookies were made by Penelope Parks Saxon.
