🎃 Halloween Joy at SBELIH Recovery Homes 👻

Residents of the SBELIH Recovery Homes in Flanders enjoyed a festive Halloween surprise when about 15 trick-or-treaters stopped by to share some spooky fun! The residents were thrilled to greet the little ghosts and goblins, hand out candy, and admire their costumes.

The homes were beautifully decorated for the occasion, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that truly lifted spirits. Residents shared how grateful they were for the decorations and pumpkins that helped make the evening so special.

This celebration was made possible thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and Krupski Farms, whose contributions brought joy and community connection to the residents. It truly takes a village—and our small but mighty community continues to prove just how generous and caring it is.

❤️ Celebrating Our Med-Surg Nurses!

Medical-surgical nursing has long been the foundation of the nursing profession — a core part of every nurse’s education and experience. At SBELIH, our Med-Surg team embodies the heart of hands-on, compassionate care.

Many of our nurses have worked in other units but continue to return to Med-Surg, sharing that “it’s very hands-on” and “you get to know your patients.”

During Medical-Surgical Nurses Week, Nov 1-7, we celebrate their dedication, skill, and personal connection to patients that make this unit a cornerstone of our hospital’s exceptional care. 💪🩺
