🥞💙 National Blueberry Pancake Day at Carolina Dunes 💙🥞

We had a berry good time celebrating National Blueberry Pancake Day!

Our CFO, Thomas, and Executive Assistant, Kian, treated the team to fresh blueberry pancakes, and our staff showed up in style — dressed head-to-toe in blue to join the fun. 💙🫐

Moments like these remind us how important it is to pause, connect, and enjoy each other — even on the busiest days. Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning special!

Reminder: Healing takes time. Some days will feel heavier than others, and that’s okay. Progress is still happening, even when it’s quiet. ❤️

🌟 FEBRUARY EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT 🌟
Myra Wright | BHA II Lead

“Mental health has always been important to me…”

Behavioral Health Associates often work behind the scenes — calm, steady, and ready to step in when it matters most. That presence defines Myra Wright, our BHA II Lead.

With over five years at Carolina Dunes, Myra supports and leads fellow BHAs, partners closely with nursing staff, and helps maintain a safe, structured environment for our patients. She also goes the extra mile, even serving as the hospital’s hairstylist to support patient dignity and care.

“My strongest skill is communication — listening, staying calm, and helping de-escalate situations while building trust,” Myra shared.

Outside of work, Myra focuses on rest and renewal through spa days, time with family, tending to her plants, and relaxing at the beach — her favorite place to reset.

Myra plans to continue growing with Carolina Dunes, strengthening her skills to better support both patients and staff. Her calm presence and dedication make a lasting impact every day.

💙 Thank you, Myra, for all that you do.
