Today, UNC Health Nash gathered in gratitude to honor the brave men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our nation.

During our Veterans Day Ceremony, we recognized staff members who are veterans, those currently serving, and visitors who joined us to be honored. The event featured heartfelt reflections, a table set in memory of fallen service members, and moving remarks from our own president and CEO, Dr. L. Lee Isley, a former U.S. Army service member, and Pharmacy Informatics Coordinator, Greg Pait, a former U.S. Air Force service member.

Dr. Isley opened the ceremony with words on the mental and physical strength it takes not only to serve, but to be a protector of the community. His reflection reminded us that behind every uniform is a person who has dedicated themselves to something greater than self—a truth that unites all who have worn our nation’s colors.

We were also deeply moved by Greg who offered a personal, first-hand recollection of his time in service. Greg spoke of his career aspirations, the bonds built through shared sacrifice, and the fallen comrades he continues to honor. His tribute to fellow service members filled the room with emotion and gratitude, offering a powerful reminder of the courage and selflessness that define our veterans.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every veteran who joined us today, and to our Inclusive Diversity Council, HR, and Dietary teams for hosting such a meaningful and reflective ceremony.

From all of us at UNC Health Nash—thank you, Veterans, for your service. 💙❤️

Last week, we celebrated a new generation of caregivers who have chosen to dedicate their skills, compassion, and hearts to UNC Health Nash. 💙

Our UNC Health Nash Scholars Program recipients recently signed their commitment to join our team following graduation—marking not just a promise of employment, but a shared commitment to growth, learning, and service.

Through the UNC Health Nash Scholars Program, we’re proud to invest in these remarkable students by covering their tuition as they complete their studies at colleges and universities including Edgecombe Community College, Nash Community College, Wilson Community College, East Carolina University, North Carolina Wesleyan University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and UNC Greensboro. In turn, they will bring their knowledge, curiosity, and compassion to the patients and families we serve.

Each signature represents a future of healing and hope — a choice to discover, develop, and dedicate themselves to the nursing and allied health professions. We are so proud of our Scholars and look forward to all they will accomplish here at UNC Health Nash and beyond. 🌿

💗 Recently, the UNC Health Nash Breast Care Center received an incredibly thoughtful gift from Capital Ford Lincoln of Rocky Mount, and it couldn't have been timed better.

We’re deeply grateful to David Batts and our friends at Capital Ford for their generous donation of seat belt covers specially designed to bring comfort to women facing breast cancer. Created by the Ford Motor Company in collaboration with a breast cancer patient, these covers provide gentle relief over sensitive areas impacted by treatment—a meaningful innovation that enhances healing and care.

Their compassion shines through this Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a reminder that comfort and support extend far beyond hospital walls and through our amazing community! Thank you, David and Capital Ford, for this wonderful, meaningful gift. 💕
