Not quite the patient we expected today 🐾

This sweet dog wandered into the hospital with no collar. She’s safe with us while we wait for Animal Control.

If you know where she belongs, we’d love to help reunite her.

They showed up. They gave. It matters.🩵

Today’s blood drive made a real impact, and we’re proud of the people who took the time to be part of it.

(And yes… there were cupcakes.) 🧁

Before answers, there’s the lab.

Before results, before diagnoses, before next steps, there’s the lab.

Our medical laboratory professionals play a critical role in patient care, delivering the information providers rely on every day.

It’s precise, focused work that often happens behind the scenes, but it makes a difference in every patient experience.

This week, we’re recognizing the team behind it all.

Care takes a team. 🤝

Most people only see one part of their care.

What they don’t see is everything happening behind the scenes —
the double checks, the conversations, the quiet moments where teams make sure it’s right.

That’s where good care becomes better care.

Personal Care. Better results.

Care feels different when it’s local.

It’s not just the care you receive.
It’s how it feels while you’re receiving it.

At Animas, that means taking the time, staying present, and showing up when it matters.

Personal Care. Better results.

It all starts at the front desk💙

Our Admissions Clerks help patients feel seen, supported, and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors.

On Hospital Admitting Clerk Day, we recognize them for the important role they play in every patient experience. Thank you for all you do!
