As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, the fight is far from over. 💖

This October served as a powerful reminder of the incredible strength of survivors and the ongoing need for action.

Awareness is only the first step; early detection saves lives. We urge everyone to:

🗓️ Schedule your mammograms/checkups
🩺 Perform regular self-examinations
💬 Talk to your loved ones about their health

Let's carry the momentum of this month forward, ensuring that every person has the best chance at a healthy future.

Just a few more pictures of some of the RGH staff spreading the Halloween cheer this year. We even had one of our patients dress up to surprise his doctor! It was a fun-filled day. Be sure to come by the RGH Long-Term care unit this evening during trick-or-treat. Our residents would love to see you!

Halloween got a little Griswold at the RGH Center for Wellness this year!

When we say we have fun at RGH, we mean it and this Halloween was proof! Our team didn’t just dress up… they brought the entire National Lampoon Christmas Vacation chaos to life a little early. Remember, “It’s not the holiday season until the squirrel jumps out of the tree!”

From Cousin Eddie in his robe (hose and all), to Clark with his lights, Aunt Bethany and her maybe-meowing present, a full-blown walking Christmas tree, a squirrel and fried cat ready for chaos, and even our metallic duo who look like they just survived Griswold Christmas lights installation, our team showed up with the entire crew!

Swipe through and tell us which costume steals the show!

Happy Halloween!

The Addams Family has invaded RGMC Patient Access today! Our staff got into the spooky spirt this year by transforming into the iconic, kooky and all-together ooky bunch.

From Gomez and Morticia to Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and even Thing and Cousin Itt, they fully embraced the charm. Take a look at their hauntingly good costumes.
