This Valentine’s Day, our NICU felt a little extra love — thanks to a sixth grader with a big heart and an even bigger dream. 💕

As part of a school “Genius Hour” passion project, Emry set out to create something that would make a positive impact in her community. Her goal? Hand-knit tiny preemie hats for the babies in our NICU and deliver them on Valentine’s Day to spread some love to our caregivers and our smallest patients.

Along the way, she even interviewed Kerry, one of our NICU nurses, to learn more about what it’s like to care for our tiniest patients — turning her curiosity into real-world learning and real-world kindness.

We’re so inspired by students like Emry who use their creativity and compassion to make a difference.

February is both Black History Month and American Heart Month — a powerful reminder that equity in heart care isn’t optional, it’s essential. ❤️

Black Americans continue to face a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease, shaped not just by health conditions, but by long-standing barriers to access, trust, and understanding in healthcare.

At Saint Joseph Hospital, caregivers like Emily Benton, NP, are working to change that through culturally competent, patient-centered care.

“You have to understand the cultural background of your patient to build trust,” Emily says. “And as you build trust, you’re able to partner with them and develop a care plan the patient can identify with. It’s not one-size-fits-all.”

That approach can be life-changing. After taking time to truly listen and understand one patient’s goals and concerns, Emily helped guide him toward advanced heart failure treatment — a decision that ultimately saved his life and helped him return to his community thriving.

This month, we reflect on the importance of trust, representation, and shared decision-making — and recommit to building a healthcare system where every patient feels seen, heard, and supported.

Saint Joe’s wishes Chris Robinson a happy retirement and expresses our deepest appreciation for her 48 years of service. Chris started at Saint Joseph Hospital as a transporter then worked as a phlebotomist while she went to nursing school. Chris worked on most of the nursing units in the hospital, including medical, surgical, and labor and delivery before becoming a hospital supervisor.

Chris will fondly remember her time at Saint Joe’s and says, “I have loved this hospital and the community we serve. I have enjoyed my nursing career and feel a little jealous of new nurses just getting started!”

Saint Joe's can't thank you enough, Chris, for the nearly five decades of the highest quality and most compassionate care you provided for our patients, our caregivers and our community.

We’re proud to recognize Jill Chavez Dominguez from Surgical Care as a L.O.V.E. Award recipient for her exceptional compassion, skill, and dedication to our patients. When her co-workers in the Emergency Department needed her help, Jill stepped in without hesitation.

Knowing the patient had endured difficult experiences before, the care team reassured the family they were in the best hands—and Jill proved that to be true. She brought not only outstanding clinical expertise, but also warmth, professionalism, and a reassuring presence that helped the patient and family feel safe and heard.

Jill’s commitment to both clinical excellence and compassionate care truly made a difference. Thank you, Jill, for living our values and for being there when it mattered most. 💙
