The SSM Health Medical Group – Shawnee pediatric team made a big impact this Thanksgiving season. Throughout November, the team donated items to provide holiday meals for families in need. As patients checked in, they were invited to add their name to a drawing for a free Thanksgiving meal. 🍗 🥔 🥧

Twenty-one families signed up and, thanks to the generosity of our pediatric staff, enough donations were collected to provide every single one of those families with a complete Thanksgiving meal! 💗

Cars lined up outside the building on the Monday before Thanksgiving, as the pediatric team handed out each family’s Thanksgiving dinner. It was a heartwarming moment that showed just how much our team cares for the community we serve. Their compassion and teamwork truly shine. 😇 🥰 🫶

Two of our Acute Care nurses were recognized recently for being amazing health partners to our patients and co-workers.

Ashley Boyd, RN, was singled out for going above and beyond to show kindness and provide dignity to our patients during their hospital stay. Her kindness and compassion make our hospital a brighter place.

Abigail Reece, RN, received a shout out from one of the nursing students she helped. “She is so helpful and guided me on what I needed to do. I am very thankful for her help and kindness!”

Thanks to both of these for being shining stars at SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital – Shawnee. 😍 😇
