We are celebrating a big win at the Wound Care Center at Raleigh General! After battling a stubborn surgical wound, one of our patients, Delorse Bowles, has officially healed - and what a journey it was. She showed up every single week for her appointments, stayed committed through weekly debridement's, and never once lost her positivity. No matter what the challenge, she arrived with a smile on her face. Stories like hers remind us why we do what we do. Consistency, teamwork, and a positive attitude truly make all the difference. We are so proud of her and honored to be part of her healing journey!

What once rocked babies will now bring comfort to our senior community. Raleigh General recently donated rocking chairs to the Raleigh County Commission on Aging. While they were no longer needed, we’re grateful they’re being repurposed where they can continue to serve others. As you can see, they are already being put to good use, the stories they could tell!

Please join us in congratulating Desi Dishmon from our SICU as Raleigh General Hospital’s Employee of the Month! Desi was nominated by the family of a patient who shared that they would not have made it through such a difficult time without her compassion and support. Desi comforted both the patient and her loved ones, keeping them informed about what to expect and walking alongside them with extraordinary empathy. The family described her compassion toward their loved one as being “like no other.” Desi sets the standard for what it means to provide truly compassionate care. Her dedication, empathy, and genuine love for what she does makes Raleigh General Hospital a better place to work. She is a true team player who goes above and beyond for her coworkers and continually strives to grow in her practice to better serve our patients and community. Congratulations Desi!
