After many years of brightening our halls and welcoming countless patients with a smile, we are celebrating the retirement of John Howard.

From helping patients find their way through our buildings to sharing a laugh that could instantly put anyone at ease, he has been so much more than a friendly face—he’s been a memorable part of the PCI experience for so many.

As he begins this well-deserved next chapter, we invite anyone who has been touched by his warmth and positivity to stop by PCI this week to say goodbye. He will be here through Friday, and we know he would love to see familiar faces one more time!
