๐Ÿฉบ Surgical Scrub Tech Anastasiya moved to the U.S. from Ukraine eight years ago and joined Providence in Portland nearly three years ago. Anastasiya says Providenceโ€”and the sense of belonging sheโ€™s felt working hereโ€”helped her move from being shy and uncertain to confident in herself and career. โ€œI applied for a job, and I found a family,โ€ she says. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š

Anastasiya says she felt welcomed immediatelyโ€”but didnโ€™t expect the type of support she received when she faced a family situation early in her employment. Says Anastasiya, โ€œMy daughter was sick, and I was about to quit. I gave my two weeksโ€™ notice to my manager, and he called me and asked why. I explained, and he said, โ€˜We are going to keep your position. Spend some time with your daughter. Just take some time, donโ€™t quit.โ€™ And honestly, I could not believe it. I took some time off, I came back, and they offered me a different shift that works better. I was in awe. And thatโ€™s what helped me understand how important it is to have this community.โ€

Anastasiyaโ€™s story is a testament to the power of support and teamwork in overcoming lifeโ€™s challenges. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

For many, lifeโ€™s most challenging moments become the catalyst for change and growth. โœจ

This was the case for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Ekaterina, who made a major life change after surviving cancer. It was the care she received that drew her to health care. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

When she was finished with her treatment, Ekaterina completed CNA training and found a position with Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Polson, Mont., where she quickly felt at home.

Ekaterina says she finds that meaning and purpose she was looking for every day at work when she gets to help patients through hard times of their own.

โ€œPeople are afraid, frustrated and they donโ€™t understand whatโ€™s happening to them,โ€ she says. โ€œA lot of times the family may not be here and theyโ€™re alone. For me, the biggest reward at the end of the day is being able to say, โ€˜I held his hand or her hand. I looked in their eyes and told them everything will be okay.โ€™โ€ ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ’š

Because Ekaterina believes that remaining upbeat during trying times is half the battle, she always tries to stay upbeat for the patients.

โ€œYouโ€™re there for that emotional support. You say, โ€˜You can do it. We can do it.โ€™ All of us are scared in moments like that. Helping them through gives me a purpose to my life and I think Iโ€™m absolutely lucky to be where I am.โ€

Tress was unemployed, but looking for work, and relied on Medicaid to help her with diabetes treatment. She is now employed and no longer relies on Medicaid.
