Wearing red is a simple but meaningful way to spark conversations, share important information, and remind the women in our lives to put their heart health first.

Join us today by wearing red, sharing this post, and encouraging the women you love to listen to their bodies and seek care when something doesn’t feel right. Together, we can help spread awareness and support healthier hearts right here in our community.

It’s Burn Awareness Week, and we’d like you to meet Patch, our little reminder that healing often starts with the right care at the right time. Patch was created by our Wound Care Center team as a fun way to spark conversation around burn safety, wound awareness, and the importance of proper treatment.

While Patch may bring a smile, his message is an important one. Burns and wounds can happen quickly and are often more serious than they first appear. Early evaluation and specialized care can make a meaningful difference in healing, comfort, and recovery. That is exactly what our Wound Care Center is here to provide.

This week, Patch is helping us remind our community to take burn safety seriously, know when to seek help, and remember that advanced wound and burn care is available close to home. If you or a loved one is dealing with a burn or slow-healing wound, do not wait. Talk with your provider or reach out to our Wound Care Center to learn how we can help support healing.

In honor of Patient Recognition Week this week, we put together small goodie bags for our admitted patients as a simple way to say thank you for trusting us with their care. Passing these out was incredibly meaningful. Hearing patients share how loved, supported, and cared for they have felt during their hospital stay was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

We are deeply grateful to our community for placing their trust in us during some of their most vulnerable moments. Those conversations, stories, and smiles remind our team that compassionate care truly matters, and that being here for our neighbors is at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for allowing us to serve you and your families. It is an honor we never take lightly.

This week is National Patient Recognition Week, and we want to pause and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It is truly an honor to care for you, your families, and our neighbors. Every visit, every story, and every moment of trust you place in us reminds us why rural healthcare matters and why this work is so meaningful. You are not just patients to us. You are friends, family, coworkers, and the people who make our community what it is.

Thank you for choosing us, for allowing us to walk alongside you through healing, and for trusting our team with your care. We are grateful every day for the opportunity to serve you close to home, right here in the community we love.

Today is World Cancer Day, a day to stand together as a community in hope, awareness, and support. Cancer touches so many lives, whether through personal journeys, loved ones, caregivers, or friends, and today we honor every story with compassion and strength.

At Big South Fork Medical Center, we believe awareness, early detection, access to care, and community support truly make a difference. Together, by encouraging prevention, screenings, and open conversations, we can help reduce fear and build hope for a healthier future.

Today and every day, we stand with those fighting, those surviving, those caring, and those remembering. You are not alone. 💜
