Two weeks ago, we kicked off our Power of One employee giving campaign—and the response has been nothing short of incredible. In just that time, 53 employees stepped forward to give a dollar or more from each paycheck, bringing our total number of participants to an inspiring 262 since launching last fall.

We are deeply grateful for every single team member who has chosen to be part of this movement thus far—your generosity is a powerful reminder that when we come together, even the smallest acts can create something truly extraordinary.

A powerful part two. 💙 Thank you, Lori Hunter, for so openly sharing about the struggle a caregiver goes through. It’s a perspective we don’t hear or talk about often, but it’s incredibly important that we do.

The caregiver perspective is often overlooked, but it should not be. Lori Hunter gives a real look at what it means to support, advocate, and endure alongsid...

Last week, members of our Women of Wellness committee and Foundation team delivered First Moon Kits to Stillwater Public Schools for dispersal among local elementary schools and middle schools.

These kits contain necessary supplies for young girls and teens—graciously donated by Women of Wellness members and Foundation supporters—and provide an empowering reminder that they are supported during life’s transitions.

We look forward to continuing this incredibly rewarding Women of Wellness Initiative throughout the year. 💘

Today kicks off our annual Power of One Employee Giving Campaign—a powerful reminder of what happens when we show up for each other. This campaign is a chance for all Stillwater Medical employees to support those they work alongside every day… and know that same support is available to them as well.

When each of us gives—even in the smallest way—we create something incredibly meaningful. Together, we fuel programs like the Sunshine Fund, which steps in during life’s hardest moments to care for our own. Being a part of the Power of One Campaign is about standing beside one another. It’s about building a culture where every single person feels seen, supported, and cared for.

On April 1, a year of hope, resilience, and remarkable beginnings culminated in our very first OnCue NICU Graduation. This private reception brought together families whose babies spent time in the NICU over the past year, the incredible physicians who cared for them near and far, and the Foundation donors who helped make the dream of advanced neonatal care in our community a reality.

Gathered together in the newly named BancFirst Waiting Room, the air was filled with emotion, gratitude, and awe. The OnCue NICU stands as a powerful testament to what’s possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose. This sentiment is what inspired the beautiful art installation, curated by Brandon Reese, that was dedicated to BancFirst for their unwavering commitment to this project and our community.

To our graduates and their families, our caregivers, and our community partners—thank you for making this first year one defined by strength, compassion, and so many miracles. ✨

This morning was a special one. ✨

Our very first “First Moon Kit Packing Party” brought together an incredible group of volunteers to support the next generation of young women in our community. Together, we assembled First Moon Kits — pouches designed to introduce menstrual products in a way that feels empowering, supportive, and informative.

These kits are more than just necessary supplies, they're a reminder to every girl and teen that they are not alone. Through this initiative, Women of Wellness Members are helping advance women's health while creating a more compassionate, confident start to an important life experience.

To everyone who gave their time this morning… thank you. Your kindness, energy, and heart made a meaningful impact, and we are so grateful to stand alongside you in this work.

This is just the beginning. 💖

During our Annual Brunch, we introduced the First Moon Kit – a new Women of Wellness initiative designed to support young girls and teens as they embrace a new phase of womanhood.

First Moon Kits gently introduce menstrual products in a way that is both empowering and nourishing, and equip our next generation with the tools they need. But these kits are more than just essentials, they’re a reminder to young women in our community that they are never alone. 💖

Now, we’re inviting you to be part of something truly meaningful. Whether you’re a Women of Wellness Member or simply someone who believes in lifting up the next generation, there’s a place for you in this initiative.

💖 Ways to get involved:
• Shop our Amazon Wish List and donate items for the kits
• Join us for our First Moon Kit Packing Party on April 1 at Stillwater Medical Center
• Share this mission with your friends and family

Together, we can equip, uplift, and empower the next generation—one kit at a time.

We’re feeling extra lucky this St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Behind last week’s sold-out Phases of a Woman Annual Brunch is an incredible group of women who make the magic happen—our Women of Wellness committee and our small but mighty Foundation team. From big-picture vision to the smallest finishing touches, this team poured their hearts into creating something meaningful for our community—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Today, we’re celebrating the women who make it all possible. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re so lucky to have you. 💚✨
