Happy Valentine’s Day from HSHP! 💖

Tomorrow is all about love, it’s ALSO National Donor Day, a time to celebrate the incredible gift of life that organ, tissue, blood, and marrow donors provide.

While we don’t recommend literally giving away your heart today 😄❤️, becoming an organ donor is one of the most powerful ways to share love with others. Did you know that one donor can save up to eight lives and improve dozens more?

So as you’re celebrating the people who make your heart happy, consider registering as an organ donor, and help make someone else’s heart beat a little longer. 💓

Gene Flynn, known around these parts as Gene-o, has been helping to keep communication running smoothly at Hot Springs Health Program for 20 years. In 2006 Gene was hired to help with a two week electrical contract, but after applying for an open courier position, he quickly became a permanent and invaluable part of our team.

Each day, Gene picks up and delivers our mail from the post office and travels to every center, transporting important items internally and ensuring that every medical record, medication, document, and package gets exactly where it needs to go, and to the people who need it. His reliability and dedication help keep our entire organization running seamlessly.

Always ready with a laugh and a smile, Gene brightens every room he walks into. Please join us in celebrating and thanking Gene for all he does - we couldn’t do it without him! 🎉👏

Feeling slug-ish, bloated, or just not at your MVP level after yesterday’s Super Bowl spread? 🏈😅
That's Ok! Today is all about the comeback! Here are a few easy ways to reset and feel good:

💧 Hydrate: Rehydrate with plenty of water to help flush out sodium, boost energy, and kick-start digestion.

🏃‍♀️ Get moving: A short walk, gentle stretch, or light workout can get your blood flowing and shake off that sluggish feeling.

🥦 Eat fresh: Focus on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole foods to refuel your body and balance things out.

😴 Rest & recover: Quality sleep and downtime help your body recharge and get back to feeling its best.

Small steps today = big wins tomorrow.

We want to take a moment to highlight this amazing individual: Caleb Massey! 👏

Caleb is the Quality Improvement Director at HSHP, and over the past few weeks, he’s been working double-time to keep our staff and community healthy and safe. From monitoring extreme winter weather to helping develop new protocols with measles on the rise, his dedication does not go unnoticed. Although he’s based at the Mashburn Center, Caleb looks out for all 150+ HSHP employees.

We truly couldn’t do this work without him - thank you, Caleb!

Yesterday was National Sticker Day - who knew?! 🎉

Luckily, stickers are one thing we’re never short on at HSHP. We know a trip to the doctor can feel a little scary sometimes, especially for our youngest patients. That’s why we keep the stickers ready and the smiles coming.

When you bring your little ones to Hot Springs Health Program, they’ll find friendly faces, compassionate care, and a team of professional providers who make sure they’re in the very best hands. Stickers included. 💙✨
