✨ Island Kind - Honoring the Helpers who Keep MDI Healthy ✨

If something good is happening at our health centers, chances are Tricia Thurlow has a hand in it. As our health center nurse manager, Tricia is the kind of person who quietly makes everything better, for patients, coworkers, and the community.

She leads with heart and hustle: making sure every child leaves their appointments with a book to spark their imagination, finding new and innovative ways to stock the “help yourself” shelves with food for those in need, and organizing produce pop-ups so no one goes without healthy food. She helps plan and staff clinics and health fairs that bring free or low-cost care to those who need it most. Tricia sees a problem and she works to solve it. She sees people in our community in need, and she looks for ways to help them.

Dr. Tanya Hanke describes Tricia’s impact perfectly:
"She is always willing to take on a task, is never too busy to answer a question, and is always tackling a problem from outside the box. She is a fabulous person, coworker, and leader."

If you know someone at MDI Hospital, Health Centers, or Birch Bay Retirement Village who should be recognized as Island Kind, email mariah.cormier@mdihospital.org.
