Congratulations to our October 2025 MVP, Robyn Cop!

Robyn has worked at HFSC for 33 years and was nominated by a peer for going above and beyond in her role while supporting other areas of the organization including the Wellness Committee, the Spinal Cord Injury Committee, and new employee orientation. The nomination shared that ā€œHer extroverted personality demonstrates her passionate care for others and she expresses it with her enthusiasm. She genuinely cares and also shows compassion to everyone around her to the point where patients return just to see her.ā€

Did you know? šŸ’”
Allied health professionals play a vital role in patient care, from physical and occupational therapists to speech-language pathologists, respiratory therapists, dietitians, and more. They help patients recover, manage chronic conditions, improve quality of life, and achieve their health goals every single day!

This Allied Health Week, we celebrate these incredible professionals for their expertise, compassion, and dedication. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our patients and community! šŸ’œ

That’s just how we walk! šŸ’ŖšŸ’œ

Our Alzheimer’s patients hold a very special place in our hearts, and what better way to raise funds for care and research than by walking together in support of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Our therapists provide individualized care plans tailored to each and every one of our patients, because personalized care makes all the difference.

A huge thank-you to Jonathan, Anita (& her boys), and Lisa for representing our community and supporting the millions of individuals battling this disease. And of course, we can’t forget Jonathan the husky, who brought plenty of warm snuggles and licks to the event! šŸ¾šŸ’œ

We’re so grateful to all our employees who took time out of their day to attend the walk and show what it truly means to care. Together, we walk for hope, for love, and for a cure. šŸ’œ

A heartfelt thank you to Linda, Brenda, and all the women of Caring Hands, a ministry of Wethersfield Evangelical Free Church!
This inspiring group gathers every month to craft items that bring comfort and care, from blankets and hats to walkers and urine bags for our patients.
For the first time, they created fidget blankets, and they turned out absolutely amazing! šŸ’•
We’re so grateful for their generosity, creativity, and the joy they bring to our community. šŸ’–

For Colleen, PT isn’t just a profession, it’s personal.

Nearly 37 years ago, after witnessing her father's recovery from a devastating work injury; including burns and a below-knee amputation, Colleen knew, at just 10 years old, that she wanted to help others heal the way physical therapy helped her dad.

Today, as one of our amazing Physical Therapist, she brings that same purpose to every patient she meets. Her father's words still guide her:
ā€œWhen you feel down, look around. Keep it in perspective.ā€

Colleen’s journey at HFSC has been shaped by resilience, collaboration, and the deep belief that care is a calling. We’re proud to have her as part of the HFSC family — where our mission isn’t just something we say — it’s something we live every day. šŸ’™
Our mission isn’t just words on a paper — it’s a way of life.
