  • Thursday, July 8, 2021

Julie Freudenberg is retiring after working for Dr. Walter Parkhurst for 40 years.

Mrs. Freudenberg went to work for Dr. Parkhurst in May 1981 when his office was located behind Erlanger North in Red Bank. Dr. Parkhurst had recently re-located to Chattanooga from Virginia.   

A short time later several doctors, including Dr. Jim Stanko, joined Dr. Parkhurst and they formed North Chattanooga Medical Associates.  That practice joined Galen Medical Group in 1993. 

During the 40 years, Mrs. Freudenberg served in several administrative positions and was also a Galen North site supervisor. 

Former State Rep. Bobby Wood was in the office with his mother.  He said, “Mrs. Freudenberg was part of a caring. understanding staff devoted to those they cared for.”

Co-worker Ginger Walker Standifer said, “Julie was one of my all time favorite employees and a very hard worker.

Her office manager, Julie Guidry, said, “Julie Freudenberg is the most humble and hard working person I’ve ever worked with. She is compassionate, smart and loyal to anything she commits to.”

 

Dr. Parkhurst called Julie “my most loyal employee. I couldn’t have made it without her.”

Mrs. Freudenberg was honored by several Galen doctors and some of her co-workers.

She is married to longtime Chattanooga radio personality Earl Freudenberg.
