Do you know what your numbers mean? They can reveal far more about your health than you might think. Blood pressure naturally rises and falls throughout the day, but when it stays high, your risk rises too. 📈 Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, often with no symptoms – that’s why high blood pressure is known as the “silent killer.”

We recently gathered to celebrate the retirement of a truly special member of our Mission Hospital McDowell family, Donna Adkins! After more than 20 years as an Environmental Services Tech, Donna was sent off with a celebration surrounded by the colleagues who have become her second family.

Donna has been a bright light in our halls for over two decades. Whether she was helping a patient, greeting a visitor, or supporting her teammates, her positive attitude made a lasting impact on everyone she met.

While she is looking forward to spending much more time with her grandbabies and great-grandbabies, we have some extra good news—Donna isn't going too far! Keep an eye out for her, as she’ll be staying on with us in a part-time capacity. 💙

Please join us in wishing Donna a very happy retirement in the comments below! 👇
