Today's the last day to support McWhinney's annual Teddy Bear Drive!

When a pediatric patient is transported to the hospital, these stuffed animals provide comfort and care during their stay. Last year, over 300 bears found loving homes thanks to your generosity.

See the post below for details on how to donate.

Calling all community members! Stop by the Kinston Hub through December 12th with a teddy bear to give back to local families with the Teddy Bear Drive.

Last year, the drive collected over 300 bears for pediatric patients at UCHealth to make their stays feel more comfortable. Join us in helping our community with a great cause!

Teddy bears are recommended to be huggable size, around 15 inches or less. All bears must have the store tag on to be donated.

When a patient’s husband showed up at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies, charge nurse Ashley Yergler quickly sensed something was off.

Noticing his confusion and facial drooping, Ashley's keen instincts led her to call the nurse response team. The man was then quickly transported to the emergency department to receive treatment. Her quick thinking and compassionate care made the difference that day.

“Many people would only focus on the patient and not the family member, but Ashley was able to help two patients that day,” said one of Ashley's colleagues.

Thank you, Ashley, for your work to improve lives. ♥

After a stroke affected his vision, and with the complications of being on blood thinners, Arden Bring thought he might have to give up his passion for hockey at just 30 years old.

“It isn’t something that only happens to older folks – a stroke can happen at any age,” Bring said. “It’s important to recognize symptoms.”

Read his story and about his experience at Poudre Valley Hospital on UCHealth Today.

Payton Wolf was about halfway through a 12-hour shift as a patient care assistant when her patient awoke feeling sad, lost and confused.

"I think he needed a lending hand, a friendly face. If it were my grandfather, I would want him to not feel so lost," said Payton.

She decided to play the Elvis Presley song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” on her phone and started singing along, which put the patient more at ease.

Payton, who has been with UCHealth since January 2023, aspires to become a nurse, like her mother.

“In the best way, she kind of brainwashed me into being in health care. I love it,” she said. “I just like caring for people.”

Thank you, Payton, for your work to improve lives. ♥️
