Mission Monday 💙 Employee Spotlight: Jamie

Meet Jamie—one of the incredible people behind the heart of Saint Joe’s!

Jamie serves as our HR Specialist and Volunteer & Intern Coordinator, and if you were at our 5K this past weekend… you saw her in action. 👟
From coordinating details to leading 50+ volunteers, Jamie helped make the day run seamlessly—and we are so grateful.

For nearly 3 years, Jamie has been a steady, supportive presence for our team—whether she’s helping staff navigate HR questions, managing schedules, or welcoming volunteers and interns into our mission.

But what really makes Jamie special?
It’s her heart.

💙 She brings her Girl Scout troop to sing Christmas carols for our residents each year
💙 She finds joy in the everyday connections with staff and residents
💙 And sometimes, you’ll even find her playing piano in the chapel during a quiet moment

When she’s not at Saint Joe’s, Jamie is spending time with her husband, Adam, and their kids, Millie and Arlo—usually starting the day with a good cup of coffee and a new adventure ☕️

Jamie, thank you for the care, energy, and compassion you bring to Saint Joe’s every single day. We are so lucky to have you!

Spring brings fresh air, new adventures… and a few of our favorite traditions, too!

Our Day Program has been out and about enjoying the season — and recently, we were lucky to welcome a special visit from the Cincinnati Public Library team! From storytelling to acting out scenes, they brought books to life in a way that had everyone smiling, laughing, and fully engaged.

We’re so grateful for community partners who help make days like this possible ✨

Wisdom Wednesday 💙 Spring Appeal 🌷

Sometimes the smallest moments hold the greatest meaning. For Journee, that moment was rolling over on her own for the very first time.

After being born at just 22 weeks and spending months in the hospital, milestones like this didn’t come easily. But at Saint Joe’s, Journee is no longer just surviving—she’s growing, exploring, and discovering the world around her.

Moments like these are only possible because of compassionate supporters like you.

Your generosity provides more than care—it creates opportunity, stability, and joy for children with complex needs and the families who love them.

🌷 As we continue our Spring Appeal, we invite you to be part of stories like Journee’s.

We had a hoppy Easter Sunday over here 🐰🌷💛

Our Recreation Team planned a fun-filled celebration, and the Easter Bunny made a special stop to visit our residents—bringing plenty of smiles, laughter, and stuffed animals along the way!

Safe to say it was a day full of joy (and maybe a little extra chocolate, too 😉).

If there’s one thing we know, it’s this: joy is meant to be shared.

We had the best time celebrating Cincinnati Reds Opening Day last week! From grilled burgers and hot dogs (thanks to our amazing leadership team 👏) to big smiles all around, it was a day full of fun for our residents and staff.

Thanks to your support, days like this are always a home run. 💙

Mission Monday 💙 | Resident Spotlight

Meet Journee.

Born at just 22 weeks and weighing less than a pound, Journee’s first months were filled with uncertainty, long hospital stays, and fragile milestones that felt like miracles. But Journee is a fighter.

When she arrived at Saint Joe’s earlier this year, her family experienced something they hadn’t felt in a long time… relief.

Because of supporters like you, Journee now has a place designed not just for medical care—but for living.

On her very first day, she rolled over on her own—something her family had never seen before. 💙

Now, she’s playing, exploring, and showing off her joyful personality more and more each day!

Your support makes moments like this possible. 🫶

You’re not just giving care—you’re giving children like Journee the chance to grow, thrive, and experience life beyond hospital walls.
