Your annual physical could catch a serious condition before you ever feel a symptom. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers often have no early warning signs. But routine screenings during a physical can detect them early, when they’re most treatable.

Your check-up also gives your doctor a chance to look at the whole picture: your medications, mental health, sleep, stress and lifestyle goals. A quick visit today can help prevent a major issue tomorrow.

Congratulations to Emily Prichett, PT, DPT, for winning a Frye Regional Best of the Best Award. Emily's compassion, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond for her patients and coworkers is truly inspiring.

"She has been the biggest blessing to me," said her nominator. "After a difficult day with rehab, the PT assistant I was working with mentioned this to Emily. That afternoon she called to check on me and give me encouragement. She didn't have to do that, but she cares about her patients - so she did." That simple statement captures the heart of who Emily is: someone who leads with empathy and lives our values every day.

From checking in on patients after hours to offering comfort during tough moments, Emily’s kindness and commitment never go unnoticed.

Thank you, Emily, for being a shining example of what it means to serve with heart. 💙

Congratulations to Miranda Faulkner, BSN, RN for winning a Best of the Best Award. Miranda's kindness, generosity, and thoroughness make her an incredible nurse to patients and a pleasure to work alongside.

"To say that this team member is extraordinary would be an understatement," said her nominator. "Whenever you are looking for Miranda, you will always find her supporting one of our new grad nurses or working with a patient. She takes the time to assure that her patients understand their medications, side effects and possible procedures they may be scheduled for. She has high morals; a great work ethic and she has set extremely high goals for herself. Miranda truly is one of our best of the best."

Not only has Miranda been incredible to our patients, but she has been especially kind to our new grad nurses and students. She is known to purchase and create handwritten the reference guides in small pocketsize journals for each individual new grad to support the start of their career. She has been known to go the extra mile for her entire unit and truly is a light in the Telemetry Unit.

Thank you, Miranda, for your kindness and compassion to everyone who crosses your path. From pocket sized reference guides to being thorough with our patients, your dedication to care is an extraordinary trait that is felt every day.

Congratulations!

This Veteran’s Day, we recognize the men and women in our community who have selflessly served our country. From all of us, we thank you and honor you today and every day.

11/11/2025

On Veterans Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces. Their dedication, sacrifice and commitment to protecting our freedoms deserve our deepest gratitude – not just today, but every day.

Last Friday, November 7, we proudly honored 15 veteran employees with commemorative challenge coins, recognizing their dedication and sacrifice. Another 50 employees were presented coins in appreciation of their military service. It was a powerful moment of appreciation for those who’ve served our country and continue to serve our community.

To all who have worn the uniform or supported someone who has, thank you. We honor you today and always for the sacrifices you made to protect our country. You are a critical part of Frye Regional, and we are grateful for your continued commitment to our mission of making communities healthier.
