🦃 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🧡
We are so grateful to everyone who has generously donated non-perishable food items this holiday season! Thanks to your kindness, we’ve been able to provide food on a regular basis to those who need it most, and we were thrilled to create 8 Thanksgiving baskets for families in need.
We’ll continue collecting donations throughout the holidays, so if you’d like to contribute, we’re still accepting non-perishable items. Every donation helps us continue supporting our community during this special time of year.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a real difference! 💛

Meet our Hattie Hero: Stephen Palmer

After nearly three weeks hospitalized with a serious abdominal illness, Stephen came to Hattie Ide Chaffee's Rehabilitation Wing unable to walk, requiring a mechanical lift, and dependent for daily care.

Over seven weeks, our dedicated team worked together to help Stephen reclaim his independence:

Physical Therapy rebuilt his strength, balance, and ability to walk
Occupational Therapy helped him regain stamina for daily activities
Speech Therapy improved his diet and intake
Nursing managed his medical needs and educated Stephen and his wife for home care

Today, Stephen walks with his walker, performs most daily tasks independently, has regained weight, and is eating a regular diet again. With a stair glide and medical equipment in place through the VA, plus homecare services lined up, Stephen is HEADING HOME AFTER HEALING AT HATTIE, stronger, healthier, and ready to continue his recovery with his loving wife.

Here's what Stephen had to say:
"When I arrived at Hattie Ide Chaffee, I felt like I left a dark place physically and psychologically. Your service of care by the entire staff has been excellent. You made me feel like part of the Chaffee family and provided professional guidance with a smile. Friendly people made all the difference in my recovery. I am very grateful."
— Stephen Palmer
