Join us in celebrating Rebecca Ashkenazy, RN, our recent DAISY award winner. Nominated by a grateful patient at Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Rebecca was recognized for the compassion, skill and humanity she brings to every moment of care.
From being a steady source of comfort and reassurance to taking the time to educate her patient about new medications, Rebecca went above and beyond when it mattered most.

“I was over 2000 miles away from home, away from family and familiar medical care,” the nominator shared. “I was overwhelmed and scared with all that was coming. Rebecca was my angel. Not only did she provide me with excellent and compassionate care, she made me feel seen.”

Thank you, Rebecca, for the extraordinary compassion, professionalism and heart you bring to your patients. You truly embody the spirit of the DAISY award.

On National Caregivers Day, we’re celebrating the people who lift others up.

When Community Health Worker, Kirsten Z., visited Mona, a 84‑year‑old retired Providence oncology nurse, the referral sounded simple: help sort through mail.📬

Mona was losing her vision, grieving the loss of her longtime companion and mourning the idea that one day soon, she wouldn’t be able to watch her beloved Gonzaga Bulldogs play basketball.🏀

Week after week, as Kirsten helped with bills and letters, a friendship formed. Mona shared stories from her years caring for patients, and the two bonded over their Providence roots.

Then Mona said something that stayed with Kirsten: “This time next year, I won’t be able to watch the Bulldogs on TV.” Kirsten knew she had to do something.

Thanks to her efforts, Kirsten surprised Mona with tickets to both the men’s and women’s Gonzaga basketball games — delivered personally by a former Gonzaga star. She even made sure Mona had a new hoodie and tee shirt so that she could cheer in style.

Mona’s reaction said everything: “I spent my career caring for others at Providence. To feel that same care coming back to me now… it means more than I can say.”

Happy to all who make moments like this possible. 💙

Shavonne’s decision to spend $250 on a genetic test for a persistent skin condition saved her life. The test revealed she was at high risk for several cancers. That knowledge led to early screening and ultimately caught invasive breast cancer before it had a chance to spread.

Now she’s on a mission to make lifesaving genetic testing accessible for everyone. 💞

Heart disease doesn’t have just one cause—but it does have risk factors.

High blood pressure, obesity and diabetes can all increase your risk. Some factors are written in your genes, but many are shaped by daily habits—and that’s where real change happens.

The good news?

Positive lifestyle choices and regular check-ins with your primary care provider can reduce, or even eliminate certain risks. Your doctor can help track your health and guide you on when it’s time to see a cardiologist. 💖

❤️ Five weeks after her life-saving heart transplant at Providence Heart Institute, Windy Manzardo took a simple walk around the block — a moment that meant everything.

For years, Windy battled unexplained palpitations, a terrifying episode of rapid, chaotic heart rhythms that triggered her defibrillator 18 times and complications that even took her off the transplant list. Still, she never gave up hope — or love for her family, her caregivers and the life she wasn’t done living.

Then one Sunday in church, the call came. A matching heart — one she feared might never come — was finally waiting.

Led by Dr. Cristy Smith, the Providence transplant team performed what Windy calls a “picture-perfect” surgery. Now she’s healing at home, growing stronger each day, and dreaming of cheering on her son, MLB player Kyle Manzardo, from the stands again.

This , we honor stories like Windy’s — stories of resilience, expert care, and the love that keeps us fighting.

❤️ Heart attack symptoms in women aren’t always obvious — but knowing the signs can save your life.

Today, on National Wear Red Day, we’re raising awareness about heart disease and why it’s especially important for Black and Hispanic women to recognize symptoms early and understand their personal risk factors.

Preventive care matters. Seeing your primary care provider every year helps keep a close watch on blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and other risk factors for heart disease.
