Our team is proudly wearing blue to raise awareness for colorectal cancer and to stand in support of patients, survivors and families affected by this disease. 💙

Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in people under 50 years of age. While it is highly preventable and treatable when detected early, many cases go undiagnosed until later stages. Screenings are recommended beginning at age 45.

Raising awareness about routine screenings, recognizing symptoms, and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices can help save lives.

🌹 Congratulations to our ROSE Award Winner – Kaysha! 🌹

We’re thrilled to honor Kaysha as our ROSE (Recognition of Service Excellence) recipient! 💐

A grateful patient shared:
“Kaysha was my nurse tech on the fourth floor for three days. She was so amazing and so attentive. Her great attitude and laughter were just what I needed. She was so fun and made me laugh, even under the circumstances of being in the hospital. She did everything asked of her and more. She even teased me about singing karaoke, and when I got discharged, she came in to sing me a goodbye song. She definitely made my visit exceptional and my leaving unforgettable. She was such a blessing to have around and I am sure everyone loves her as much as my family and I did.”

Your dedication and heart inspire us all, Kaysha. 💛

🌼 This month, we honor our Daisy Award recipient – Haylen! 🌼

Celebrated for her intuition, compassion, and attentive care, Haylen went the extra mile to support a fellow healthcare worker after surgery, ensuring a smooth, comfortable and pain-free experience. Read her heartfelt patient nomination below:

"I had surgery at Northwest Main OR today. When I woke up from anesthesia I was in a lot of pain and I struggled to clearly express what I needed and what hurt. My PACU nurse, Haylen, was incredibly intuitive — she noticed subtle changes in my facial expressions and body language and responded immediately, often before I had to say anything at all. She asked what had worked for me in the past and truly partnered with me in my care, including trying non-pharmacological pain interventions. Because of her skill, attentiveness, and dedication, my pain was completely controlled, and I was able to leave the surgery center with zero pain.

Just as meaningful as her clinical care was who she was as a person. Haylen was kind, calm, and genuinely pleasant to be with. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or like just another patient. As a fellow healthcare worker, I know how rare it is to encounter a nurse with this level of compassion, intuition, and presence. Nurses do not receive enough recognition for truly caring for people, and it is important to me that Haylen, her leadership, and our community know just how extraordinary she is. She truly embodies the heart of nursing and is deeply deserving of a DAISY Award."
