Leslie Witkop, RN, is our February Employee of the Month because she has proven herself to be a compassionate, dependable, and inspiring presence within our hospital. In her short time with us, she has shown exceptional care for patients, unwavering support for her teammates, and a level of grit that strengthens every shift. Leslie brings calm, kindness, and professionalism to even the most challenging moments, creating a sense of trust and stability for those around her. Her willingness to grow—most recently demonstrated by beginning training to fill in as House Supervisor—reflects her dedication to both her own development and the success of our team. We are deeply grateful for her commitment, her heart for patient care, and the positive impact she makes each day at Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital.

Brain injuries can cause temporary or permanent changes in the way a person thinks, moves, feels, and interacts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability in the United States and can affect cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

These changes can impact both short- and long-term independence. Specialized rehabilitative care at a medical rehabilitation hospital like ours is designed to help patients regain function, maximize independence, and adapt to any abilities that may have been altered. Research supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke shows that rehabilitation can play a critical role in recovery by promoting neuroplasticity and helping individuals rebuild skills over time.
Inpatient rehabilitation programs address a wide range of needs, including:
• Decreased levels of alertness
• Eating and swallowing difficulties
• Sudden occurrences of agitation
• Prevention of medical complications
• Memory and attention problems
• Problem-solving and reasoning challenges
• Reduced awareness of personal limitations
• Social and behavioral concerns
• Mobility limitations
• Fine motor coordination deficits
• Concerns related to returning to work and job skills
Through coordinated, interdisciplinary care, patients receive specialized treatments tailored to their specific goals and challenges.

❤️ Taking Heart: From Awareness to Action
As we wrap up February, I want to take a moment to reflect on American Heart Month. All month long, our team has been wearing red to honor the warriors: those currently fighting heart disease, those living with its daily challenges, and the loved ones we have lost.
But wearing red is just the start—now, it’s time to move.
🩺 To Friends & Family
Your heart works hard for you; make sure you’re looking out for it. Please take this as your sign to:
Schedule a checkup: Knowing your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol) can save your life.
Eat for your heart: Small shifts toward whole foods make a big difference.
Focus on Recovery: If you or a loved one is navigating the road to recovery after a heart issue, remember that MRRH is Stroke Certified. Our team is uniquely equipped to provide the specialized rehabilitation needed to help you regain your strength and independence.
👟 To My MRRH Team: Let’s Walk!
Awareness is great, but action is better. I’m calling on the MRRH Team to join me at the upcoming Heart Walk!
Where: Segra Park, Downtown
When: March 28th
The Mission: This year, the AHA is raising funds to ensure every school has an AED and CPR training.
How you can help:
Walk with us: Register to join the team (see Renuka for more information) and let’s hit the pavement together!
Donate: If you can’t make it to Segra Park on the 28th, please consider a donation. Every dollar helps put life-saving equipment in our local schools. (See Renuka for information on how too donate or purchase a red heart)
Let’s show our community that MRRH doesn’t just wear red—we show up.

During your annual physical, it’s likely that you’ve had your cholesterol checked. But do you know what it is and why it matters?

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs to build healthy cells and produce certain hormones. It comes from two sources: your liver, which makes all the cholesterol you need, and from animal-based foods like meat, dairy, and eggs.

Cholesterol isn’t harmful unless there are excessive amounts in the body. High cholesterol can form plaque on the inner walls of arteries, which can narrow and stiffen the arteries over time. This makes it harder for blood to flow and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol is measured through a blood test that shows the levels of different types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, often is referred to as the “bad” cholesterol because high levels of it contribute to plaque buildup. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol because it helps to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream and carry it back to the liver. Here, it’s broken down and removed from the body, which can help prevent buildup in the walls of blood vessels and reduce the risk of plaque formation.

Once you know your cholesterol levels, you can work with your physician to control it if necessary.

Reflection, Renewal, and the Road to Recovery 🌿
As we enter the season of Lent, we are reminded that transformation doesn't happen overnight. In our Rehabilitationsetting, we witness a different kind of "Lenten journey" every day: the slow, steady, and often difficult path our patients take toward reclaiming their lives.

This season isn't just about what we give up—it's about what we give of ourselves. In rehab, we practice the core virtues of this season daily:
Patience: Staying steady when the progress is slow.
Sacrifice: Putting the needs of the vulnerable before our own.
Hope: Believing in a "new beginning" for every patient we treat.

We are the bridge. When a patient feels they cannot walk, our teamwork provides the strength they lack.
We practice grace. We offer kindness not just to our patients, but to each other when the days are long.
We see the finish line. We hold the vision of recovery for those who can’t see it yet.

A Shared Affirmation for the Season
"May our hands be steady, our hearts be open, and our team be a sanctuary for those seeking a new beginning."

To our incredible staff: Thank you for walking this journey alongside our patients. Your dedication is the ultimate reflection of service.

I challenge each team member this "Lenten Season", instead of giving sonething up, I encourage you to "Take something up"—and give one specific compliment to a teammate every shift.

A Valentine’s Treat to the Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital Team.
I’d like everyone to take a quick moment to recognize the incredible heart of this hospital—and that is all of you.
In a rehabilitation setting, 'love' isn't just a sentiment; it’s an action. It’s the patience you show during a difficult session, the encouragement you give when a patient feels like giving up, and the genuine joy you share in every small victory and milestone reached.
But beyond the care you give our patients, I want to thank you for the teamwork you show one another. This isn't an easy job, but you make it look seamless by leaning on each other, lifting each other up, and ensuring no one walks a shift alone.
So, here’s to the hands that heal and the hearts that care. We have some cupcakes over there as a small token of our gratitude—because honestly, none of this would be possible without your 'sweet' dedication to this community.
To the Midlands Regional team: Thank you for providing compassionate care daily. ❤️

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most adults require at least seven hours of sleep a night to support overall health, yet about one-third of adults report routinely getting less than that recommended amount. Insufficient sleep is recognized as a significant public health concern.
The CDC identifies short sleep duration as being associated with an increased risk of chronic conditions, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and depression. Adequate sleep plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, metabolism, and other physiological processes that support cardiovascular function. When sleep is consistently inadequate, these regulatory processes may be impaired, contributing to increased cardiovascular risk over time.
It’s important to remember that prioritizing sufficient, quality sleep is not a luxury. It’s an important component of maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of chronic disease.
