🏀💚 Mental Health Awareness Night 💚🏀
Join us on February 20 for a special Slam Dunk Stigma - Mental Health Awareness Basketball Game, a powerful partnership between Columbus Boys Basketball and Prairie Ridge Health. This night is about more than basketball—it’s about showing up for one another and supporting mental well-being in our community.

👕 Awareness shirts are available to order prior to the event—wear yours to the game and help spread the message that mental health matters. Order here: https://slamdunk.itemorder.com

💙 Proceeds from the game and shirt sales will support:
• Mental health initiatives at the school
• A Psychiatry Wellness Fund at the hospital

Come cheer, connect, and help make a meaningful impact—on and off the court. Let’s pack the gym and stand together for mental health.

🌟My Why Wednesday🌟

🏥 Today we’re recognizing our House Supervisors — a vital part of keeping our hospital running smoothly, day and night.

Our House Supervisors provide leadership, guidance, and support across the entire hospital. They help ensure patient care stays safe and coordinated while serving as a trusted resource for our care teams. From problem-solving in the moment to supporting staff and patients alike, they play a key role in maintaining a calm, well-run environment.

We are grateful for their clinical expertise, steady leadership, and commitment to collaboration. Their presence makes a difference not just in operations, but in the experience of everyone who walks through our doors.

Thank you to our House Supervisors for all you do for our patients, our teams, and our community. 💚
