We recognized our most recent Daisy Award winner, Katie Klein, RN, BSN, Hospice Nurse. Each Daisy nomination tells a story of a connection made between a patient and their nurse or team of nurses.

Katie's nomination told the story of her strong emotional presence and compassionate support for the hospice patient and the grieving family.

Congratulations Katie!

We’re Upgrading How We Communicate with You!

We’re excited to share that we’ve launched a new communication platform — Artera — to help keep you updated and on track with your appointments.

Here’s what you need to know:
✅ New Reminder System: Our reminder calls and texts may come from different phone numbers than before — don’t worry, it’s still us!
✅ More Communication Options: You may notice more reminders as we transition to this new system.
✅ Appointment Confirmations:
• If you confirm your appointment on the first reminder, you’ll receive one final reminder the day before your visit.
• If you don’t confirm, you may receive additional reminders to help ensure you don’t miss your appointment.

We understand you’ve noticed an increase in messages, and we appreciate your patience as we roll out this improvement! Confirming early helps reduce reminder messages and keeps things running smoothly for everyone.

What does mean to June Kopiasz, a military Veteran and immunization nurse in the Harlan Clinic?

"Veteran’s Day is twofold for me. It is a reminder of the time sacrificed away from my own family to serve, but, even more, it is a reminder of my time as a military spouse – waiting for a husband that may not make it home. I feel blessed to have a whole and healthy family, but I will never forget those who did not return and those who did return but are no longer who they were when they left. To our communities’ veterans and veteran supporters, thank you."

Help us show our appreciation by saying "Thank You" to June and all today.
