We have all heard about the health impacts that smoking can have. But did you know that doctors are seeing similar complications in patients that v**e? 💨

Dr. Sumit Ringwala, one of our collaborating cardiologists with Emplify Health by Bellin says it is one of the activities that he would NEVER do given everything he's seen in his 13 years as a practicing physician.

Happy Mission Parter Monday! We are excited to celebrate Rachel Strubel, RN, our recent DAISY award winner. 🌼

The DAISY award honors nurses who provide extraordinary care to patients and families. Rachel was nominated by a patient who greatly appreciated her compassionate care, communication and teamwork during an in-patient stay.

"Rachel is one of the best nurses that has ever taken care of me. Her leadership with the team of other caretakers was top notch. She and her team had flawless care and communication. Throughout my inpatient stay she listened to all my concerns and addressed them. Her bedside manner made me feel safe and trusting in her and her team. That is hard to come by. She deserves to be recognized because of her passion for taking care of others shows and I appreciate being in her care. Thank you, Rachel!"

Your heart and emotions are connected in more ways than you might think.
Broken-heart syndrome is a real condition that can look like a heart attack after intense emotional or physical stress.

Physical or emotional trauma can cause broken-heart syndrome, especially in post-menopausal women. It can be as deadly as a heart attack.

It feels good to end the week with positivity and gratitude ❤️

Dianne LaChance, RN, served as a Mission Partner at OSF for over 34 years and recently celebrated her retirement. Dianne asked that any monetary gifts be directed to the Delta County Cancer Alliance or the OSF Foundation towards the build of the OSF Radiation Oncology center.

Thanks to this generosity, approximately $500 was raised for future radiation oncology services right here in Escanaba.

Dianne has truly shown what it looks like to serve with the greatest care in love both in her work and life. Thank you!
