Friendship Harvest Day at Friends Hospital! We celebrated wellness, joy and appreciation for the incredible staff who make healing possible every day.

The celebration began with a delicious breakfast from Flippin’ Delicious Pancake Bar, followed by a heartwarming visit from the baby goats of Rose Bridge Farm Sanctuary, and ended with a relaxing activity of creating our own custom fragrance lotion bars.
