It’s Nurses Week and what better way to celebrate than by recognizing three of our own who had their pinning on May 5 from Caldwell Community College. Congratulations to Lupe Lopez, Dana Hudson and Holly Dallman!! We look forward to watching you continue to provide high-quality care to our patients and community as registered nurses!

One of the most common questions we get asked is what opportunities are available for students. We're fortunate to be able to help students explore the many aspects of healthcare through volunteer opportunities, Camp Med, job shadowing, internships and externships, among others. Through our partnership with the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program at Ashe County High School, we have students complete semester-long internships where they learn valuable skills and insight into a chosen career pathway.

This semester, we have seven student interns, including senior Molly Maine who has been interning in our labor and delivery department. Molly shared more about her experience and how the Health Science Career Pathway has prepared her for the future.

Thank you to Ashe County Early College CTE teacher Stefan Kunz and his students Madalyn Blevins and Hailey Miller for putting this video together for us!

We never know what is going to come through the door of the emergency department. On Saturday, we participated in an annual county-wide Disaster Drill. While we hope that an event like this never happens, mock scenarios and disaster drills allow our team members to implement our policies and procedures in real-time to ensure we are fully prepared should the need arise. Thank you to the ED team, AMH police and our department leaders for helping make this a successful training exercise.

“Cancer doesn't care about zip codes — and neither should access to exceptional treatment,” said Dr. Ayla Kessler, Medical Director for Ashe Oncology and Hematology. “Nearly all of us know someone who has faced this disease: a parent, a neighbor, a friend. When that diagnosis comes, patients shouldn't have to travel hours from home during the most challenging moments of their lives.

“The expansion of the Jo Anne Poe Cancer Center will create more patient-centered infusion spaces, improve access to advanced therapies, and ensure families can receive world-class care close to home — surrounded by the people who love them and the community that knows their name,” Dr. Kessler added. “This project is more than a renovation. It's a promise that when our neighbors face their toughest days, they won't face them far from home. Join us on May 30 as we come together to build something extraordinary for the patients and families who need it most. Thank you for showing up — not just for this event, but for each other, every day.”
