Congratulations to Archie, Wheeling Hospital’s newest therapy dog in training! Archie recently graduated from his first training session and is well on his way to earning his therapy certification to prepare him for his important role. Archie has already shown that he loves connecting with people by leaning in to be pet and offering his paw as if to say, “I’m here for you.” Pictured with Archie is his handler Sheeanna Palmer, hospital quality patient experience supervisor. Archie, you are PAWSitively adorable and have stolen our hearts already!

October is Safe Sleep Awareness Month, a time to highlight that even the smallest choices can make the biggest difference for our little ones. At WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital, we’re honored to be part of so many families’ first moments, and we want every baby to have the safest start possible.

Safe sleep means placing your baby on their back, using a firm, flat crib or bassinet, and keeping the sleep space free of blankets, pillows, and toys. Babies should share your room, but not your bed, and once they begin to roll, it’s time to stop swaddling. These simple steps save lives. Together, we can help every baby sleep safely and every parent rest with peace of mind.

To help families begin safe sleep habits at home, every family who delivers with us receives a Wheeling Hospital swaddle as a small gift and a gentle reminder of these important practices. One of our own, Hannah Shanaberger, RN, from the Mother and Baby Unit, is pictured with her husband, Michael, and their newborn son, Tripp. We couldn’t be happier for their family; congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!

Congratulations to our newest DAISY Award recipient, Paige Briggs, RN!
We’re proud to recognize Paige, an Emergency Department nurse at Wheeling Hospital, for the extraordinary care and compassion she shows every day.
Paige was nominated by a mother who brought her one-year-old son to the ER earlier this year. What began as a visit for what she thought was a simple rash quickly turned frightening when her son suffered two seizures on the way to the hospital. Overwhelmed and terrified, the mother said she immediately felt a sense of calm and reassurance the moment Paige entered the room. Paige’s kindness, confidence, and steady presence put both mother and child at ease in what could have been one of their most traumatic days.
The mother shared how impressed she was with Paige’s skill, noting that her son is a “very difficult stick” when it comes to IVs or blood draws — yet Paige’s expertise shone through as she handled the procedure with precision and care. “She truly rocked it,” the mother wrote. “For the first time, I actually felt sad to be leaving the ER, knowing we wouldn’t get to keep her as our nurse.”
Paige’s professionalism, warmth, and ability to comfort both patients and their families in critical moments perfectly embody what the DAISY Award represents. Please join us in congratulating Paige on this well-deserved honor and in thanking her for the exceptional care she provides to our patients and families each day.
