This National Twins Day, we’re celebrating Amber Sivapatham and Ashley Plemmons, twin sisters and Program Consultants on our Health Care Quality (QORA) team, whose careers have stayed in sync, leading them to live .

“We’ve always shared a deep passion for caring for others,” they share. That passion began when they attended nursing school together, spending late nights studying and early mornings on clinical floors side by side. After graduation, they both developed a strong interest in quality improvement through their bedside experiences.

That shared interest eventually brought them to the American Heart Association. While they no longer provide direct patient care, their "why" continues to shape their work. “Seeing people at their sickest and weakest moments made us realize how critical it is to get the right care at the right time.” Those moments, along with watching family members navigate hospital stays, motivated them to join our QORA team.

Today, though working remotely and miles apart, they feel more connected than ever. What started in nursing school has come full circle to a shared purpose to make care better for everyone, everywhere. 💙

🥗 Living means embodying our mission, and sometimes that comes with a chef’s hat.

Our Activities Community is bringing this energy to life with new Quarterly Cooking Demos designed to help our employees connect, recharge, and live our mission in practical, everyday ways. This committee works year-round to create moments of connection, and this new series is one of their most delicious ideas yet.

The first session featured a Holiday Harvest Salad created by Sydney Smith, Director for Heart Ball in Southeast Michigan. Sydney grew up cooking alongside her mom, experimenting with colorful ingredients and bold flavors. She first shared that passion during Employee Appreciation Month, and the excitement from employees sparked the idea to make it a regular series.

Now she is guiding teams through seasonal dishes that prove nutritious eating can be both exciting and full of flavor. Thank you, Sydney, and the Activities Committee, for investing in our workplace wellbeing!
