Compassion sometimes looks like walking the extra mile — even in the rain and snow.

When scheduling changes meant providers were caring for patients in two separate buildings, Darla Henderson, CMA, stepped up. She moved between locations throughout the day to room patients and support her team, always with grace and a servant’s heart.

Her focus was simple: “We have to take care of these patients and look after the providers.”

At AdventHealth, moments like this reflect our mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ and our commitment to our Love Me service standard. It’s how we help our communities feel whole — body, mind and spirit.

Thank you, Darla, for your unwavering commitment to those we serve.

All four AdventHealth Cancer Services locations are now recognized as
Age-Friendly Health Systems – Committed to Care Excellence.

This recognition reflects a commitment to caring for patients age 65 and older through the 4Ms framework — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility — so care is guided by safety, dignity and what matters most to each individual.

“Asking what matters and aligning care around those priorities is central to age-friendly care,” said Anna Hicks, MD. “The 4Ms help ensure older adults feel supported throughout their cancer journey.”

Because every stage of life deserves compassionate, whole-person care. https://bit.ly/4gnr4DQ

Feeling seen can be transformative. Before her heart attack, Nichole’s physical and mental health hadn’t been her priority. But in the AdventHealth ER, the exceptional care that quickly saved Nichole’s life was delivered with such compassion that it restored her health — and her entire outlook. “AdventHealth set me free,” says Nichole.

“I’m living the life I was always meant to live.”

Our ER team knows you have a lot of great living left to do. myERnc.com

Misinformation can make caring for your health feel overwhelming, but knowledge is empowering.
