Our Rehabilitation Services and Sports Medicine team kicks off its 12 Days of Stretching today. Follow along for their expert advice!

🎁 Day 1 – Neck Stretch!
Starting our 12 Days of Stretching with soothing neck tilts: slowly tilt your head to one side and use your hand to gently deepen the stretch. Hold, breathe, and switch sides. Comet the reindeer shows how it’s done—while our Elf supervises to make sure we don’t overdo it! 😉

⚠️ Thompson Rehab Elf Disclaimer: Our Rehab Elf supervises for fun, not for medical advice! Always listen to your body and move within your comfort level. If you have any medical conditions or injuries, consult a healthcare professional before trying new stretches or exercises.

On this snowy Work Besties Wednesday, we’re featuring a trio! Ragan Stevens of 3 West says she, Holly Bailey of Nursing Administration, and Caitlin Bonanni of 2 West first met at Thompson almost 15 years ago and now are like sisters. She says, “We argue and yet stand beside each other. We agree and push each other forward. We cry together, we laugh together, and many times we laugh so hard we cry together. We do life and work together. We share and grow ideas, we grumble and end up composing solutions, and we put our all together to do our best for our community.” We are grateful for these three amazing women, and so happy they found enriching friendships at Thompson.

Last week was a busy one at our M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center, where residents on each of the five “avenues” enjoyed a special holiday meal featuring prime rib, fingerling potatoes, and green beans with bacon and cranberries. Many of the residents invited family to join them for the meals, where music played and administrators joined the Rec Therapy and Nutrition Services associates in making everyone feel welcome. For dessert, there was sticky toffee pudding and pecan pie!

This occasion calls for cupcakes! Our nurses handed them out to excited associates this week to celebrate our hospital being designated once again by the American Nurses Credentialing Center as a Magnet hospital. It’s our fifth consecutive time, which is incredibly rare, and it signifies an exceptional level of nursing excellence. How sweet it is!
