Today, we’re glad to have Dawson Stover, son of our CEO George Stover, spending the day with our surgery and CRNA team.

He’s getting a firsthand look at the care, teamwork, and steady hands it takes behind the scenes. We always love the chance to open that door and share what health care looks like up close.

As Anessa Otto, RN, Surgery Manager, put it: “Great health care is not just delivered. It is passed on by people willing to teach, guide, and invest in the next set of hands.”

Big news for our moms and babies! Our Birth Center has been recognized as a High 5 for Mom & Baby facility through the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund, thanks to our continued commitment to supporting breastfeeding and improving maternal and infant health.

This recognition means we are following evidence-based practices that help families get the best possible start, including things like skin-to-skin time after birth, individualized feeding support, and connecting moms with breastfeeding resources after discharge.

Thank you to our amazing OB team, nurses, and staff who make this care possible every day!
