This morning, we recognized longtime St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation Board Member, Don Nestor, for his years of dedicated service (2017–2025)! 💙

Throughout his full term, Don has been a strong advocate for St. Joseph’s mission and an invaluable supporter of our Foundation’s efforts to enhance patient care and community health. His leadership, insight, and commitment to giving back have left a lasting impact on both the hospital and our community.

Please join us in thanking Don for his years of service as he completes his term! 🙌

🏥 What Is a Hospitalist?
When you’re admitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital, your care is coordinated by our dedicated team of hospitalists — providers who specialize in caring for patients while they are in the hospital.

Unlike other providers who divide their time between a clinic and the hospital, hospitalists work exclusively inside the hospital, which means they’re always close by when you need them most. 💙

👩‍⚕️ Our Hospitalist Team:
• Bartley Brown, DO
• Cameron Ross, MD
• Lorrie DiLucente, ACNP-BC
• Aliyah Plum, PA-C
• Megan Wykoff, APRN, FNP-C

✅ Benefits for patients:
• Faster response to changes in condition
• Immediate availability for questions and urgent needs
• Improved communication among your care team
• Expertise in managing hospitalized patients

Learn more about how our hospitalists work together to provide seamless, compassionate care — right here at WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital. 💛

Fall festivities at St. Joseph's today! 🎃
This afternoon our staff enjoyed a cozy Fall Festival complete with a loaded nacho bar and a friendly (but serious!) chili cook-off between departments — thanks to everyone who entered…and taste-tested!

Then tonight, our campus was full of laughter, costumes, candy - and even a helicopter - as we hosted a Trunk or Treat for our staff and their families. It was a joy to see so many little superheroes, princesses, ghosts and goblins making memories right here at St. Joseph’s.

Thank you to everyone who helped plan, decorate, cook, serve, and participate — days like this remind us how strong and special our St. Joseph’s family truly is! 🧡🌶️🦇🍬

This week at St. Joseph’s, we are proud to recognize two essential departments that help keep our hospital running strong:

🏗 Facilities Week — honoring careers spanning as high as John Currence, with an impressive 42 years of service!
From safety to maintenance to keeping our building functioning every single day — this team is the backbone behind the scenes.

💨 Respiratory Care Week — celebrating the professionals who help patients breathe easier when it matters most.
Their expertise, calm under pressure, and compassionate care truly save lives.

To both of these incredible teams — thank you for your dedication, your skill, and the impact you make on every patient who walks through our doors. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💙
