We are doubling up yet again to recognize another one of our providers.

His steady presence and dedication have made a tremendous impact on our patients and our team. 🩺✨

When asked, “In one word, how would you describe your experience serving here, and why that word?” he shared:
“Fulfilling — My time serving at Bethesda Clinic always leaves me feeling fulfilled and appreciated for being able to use my training and skills as a physician to deliver much-needed health care to those who need it most.”

Dr. Sabom, thank you for your kindness, your expertise, and the heart you bring to every patient encounter. You are an inspiration to us all — and a beautiful way to close out our 30 Days of Thanks. 💙🙌

When asked, “What inspired you to start volunteering with us?” Susan shared:

“Part of my decision to work at KSU was to be able to work at the Bethesda Community Clinic. I learned that it was started by Karen Fegely, and I love working in NP-led practices that care for underserved populations.”

Susan, thank you for your heart to serve and for sharing your gifts so generously. 🌼 Your commitment changes lives, and we are so grateful for you! 🙌💛

💜 Day 28 of “30 Days of Thanks” — featuring Kristy Pastush! 💜

Today we’re celebrating Kristy Pastush, a Nurse Practitioner at Sandy Plains Pediatrics who has generously dedicated her free time to serving at our clinic for almost two years. Her heart for helping people is evident in everything she does. 🚚✨

When asked, “What inspired you to start volunteering with us?” Kristy shared:

“I first connected with Bethesda Community Clinic while working with uninsured youth in our area. Finding a clinic that not only provided care, but did so with grace, compassion, and dignity, made such an impact on me. During my Family Nurse Practitioner program, I was blessed to complete part of my clinical rotation with Karen at Bethesda, and that experience only deepened my appreciation for the ministry. When I graduated, I knew I wanted to come back — to give back — and volunteer my time to continue serving this community.”

Kristy, thank you for standing beside us and pouring your heart into this mission. 💙 We are so grateful for you and all you bring to our patients and our team! 🙌
