Knowing your numbers is one of the most important parts of managing diabetes. Your A1C shows how well your blood sugars have been controlled, your blood pressure reflects how hard your heart is working, and your cholesterol levels help identify your risk for future complications. This Diabetes Month, make time to review these key numbers and connect with your care team about where they should be for you.

Congratulations to Kelcie LaChapelle, RN in Labor and Delivery at Aspirus Rhinelander Hospital, on being recognized as a DAISY Foundation Award winner! 🌼

Kelcie was nominated by a patient who had recently moved to the area and faced a frightening hospital stay far from home. During a challenging experience with sepsis and again later during labor, Kelcie offered care that made the patient feel safe, supported, and genuinely welcomed into her new community. She took time to explain every step of care, connect through shared interests, and include the whole family in the experience.

“She made me feel part of this community and totally met my needs with her compassion, communication, and sense of humor.”

Thank you, Kelcie, for the exceptional care you provide and for the comfort you bring to the families you serve.

In her first six months at Aspirus, Josie-Marie learned something quickly: listening can change a patient’s entire day. One conversation about a painful, ill-fitting walker turned into a real solution, and a returning patient who said it “changed her life.” Compassion like that doesn’t show up on a checklist. It shows up in Josie-Marie.

Congratulations to Aspirus at Home–Hospice RN Jason Pahl on receiving a DAISY Award!

Jason was nominated by the daughter of a hospice patient, who shared how his patience, presence, and unwavering support made a profound difference during her mother’s end-of-life journey. She described how Jason never rushed a visit, listened with compassion, and took immediate action whenever the family needed help. Whether responding quickly by phone or making an extra visit to ease their worries, Jason was consistently there for them. Even after her mother was transferred to the hospice house, he stopped in to ensure everything was going smoothly.

The DAISY Foundation honors nurses who show exceptional clinical skill and extraordinary compassion, qualities Jason demonstrates every day. We’re grateful for the meaningful, heartfelt care he provides to patients and families.

Congratulations, Jason!

Holiday travel can pose added risks for people with heart conditions. Long flights or car rides can increase the chance of blood clots, and factors like stress, missed medications, changes in diet, and higher alcohol intake can impact heart health.

"Cardiac events tend to rise around the holidays, so it's important to plan ahead," says Megan Johnson, Nurse Practitioner with Aspirus Cardiology.

If you have heart or lung disease or conditions like anemia, check with your providers to make sure your travel plans are safe.

Hospice care is often misunderstood, but it’s truly about living each day with meaning, dignity, and connection.

At Aspirus at Home, we provide personalized care wherever patients feel safest, at home, in assisted living, or in the hospital. From symptom relief to emotional, spiritual, and grief support, every service is designed to help patients and families cherish the moments that matter most.

Hospice may not promise more days, but it brings more comfort, more grace, and more life to each one. This month, we raise awareness about the hope, care, and support hospice brings to our communities.
