We’re wrapping up with a fan favorite: Our incredible Pet Therapy volunteers and their canine companions! These volunteer handler‑and‑dog teams bring emotional support, encouragement, stress relief and a whole lot of tail wags to caregivers, patients and families. Whether they’re visiting at the bedside, greeting people in common areas or offering comfort at difficult moments, their presence makes a meaningful difference. One of the most beloved parts of their work is the weekly group session with patients in the inpatient Behavioral Health Unit—a highlight for everyone involved.

This popular and highly requested service is an invaluable part of the compassionate care we provide. Join us in celebrating our Pet Therapy volunteers for the love they share and the healing they inspire!

Barbara, Marsha and Liann are three of the friendly faces who help make our Gift Nook such a bright spot! These kind, skillful and intuitive volunteers help visitors choose the perfect gift for a loved one, keep our shelves stocked with chocolate and other “necessities," price and restock merchandise and assist with payment transactions—all with a welcoming smile.

The Gift Nook is proudly operated by the Sister Catherine Auxiliary, and every purchase helps support patient care at the hospital. Join us this in thanking all our shop volunteers for bringing delight and comfort to our patients, families and caregivers!

During , we’re honoring the incredible individuals who give their time, talents and compassion to our patients. Gary is one of our dedicated Eucharistic Minister volunteers. With a deep calling to support the spiritual needs of those who are sick or suffering, Gary brings holy communion to Catholic patients who are unable to attend Mass. His visits offer comfort, connection and—when requested—prayer and scripture readings that bring peace in challenging moments.

The presence of volunteers like Gary is a true gift. Their service not only uplifts our patients but enriches their own lives through meaningful moments.

Not all allergy medications work the same way.

From antihistamines to nasal sprays and decongestants, the right choice depends on your symptoms, timing and overall health. Some help with sneezing and itching, while others target congestion or prevent symptoms before they start.

Howard, Gerry, Gene and Jan volunteer with our Mended Hearts program, bringing comfort, connection and hope to heart patients and their families.

They also host free monthly community meetings featuring expert speakers — from cardiologists and heart surgeons to nutritionists and other healthcare professionals, all committed to empowering patients with knowledge and support. We’re so grateful for their dedication and big hearts! ❤️ https://ow.ly/Na9K50YNM5x

Parents can play a key role in spotting early signs of autism.

Screening is a routine part of well child visits, especially before preschool, and can help identify concerns sooner. Early support makes it easier for children to build communication, social, and learning skills as they grow.

Learn why early screening matters and what to expect at check-ups: https://ow.ly/qEFG50YNaZb

Congrats and gratitude to these inspiring recipients of our most recent quarterly DAISY Awards:
💮Kaitlin O., RN, 2nd Surgical, nominated by a patient: "In my misery of two very difficult major surgeries in an eight-hour period, I now was feeling like a human being again, pampered by an overworked nurse who didn’t know the meaning of ‘no’ or ‘don’t have time.’ With Kaitlin, everything is 'can do'!”
💮Deanna C,, RN, ICU nurse, nominated by a coworker: "Sometimes something happens on the ICU that needs a strong, compassionate nurse to fix. Deanna is THAT nurse ... she shows exemplary care and compassion to her patients every day."
💮Nate D., RN, nurse lead on Medical 2, nominated by a patient family member: "This nomination is for his ability to empower those around him, both patients and staff ... He is an absolute blessing and has touched our family in ways that will stick with us for our lifetimes."

The DAISY Award is a national program honoring the extraordinary clinical skills, care and compassion of nurses. Nominations may be submitted at any time: https://ow.ly/iW6a50YK9sx.
