๐Ÿพ Say hello to our newest pet therapy team โ€” Staci and Remy!
Weโ€™re thrilled to welcome Staci and her sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix, Remy, to our Centrica Care Navigators volunteer family!

Remy is not only irresistibly cuddly (she loves napping on pillows!), but she also accompanies Staci to school, spreading calm and comfort wherever she goes. Fun fact: therapy runs in the family: several of Remyโ€™s siblings are also therapy dogs!

๐Ÿถ Their presence will bring so much joy to the patients and families we serve.

We were proud to join the Kalamazoo Youth Development Network at Bronson Park for the National Day of Summer Learning. This joyful, family-friendly event celebrates the power of out-of-school time (OST) programs that support youth growth and learning.

Our Grief Support team invited kids to "Blow Away Your Worries" by writing down their stress or fears and posting them to our interactive display. It was a powerful reminder that even small moments of expression can make a big difference!

On Tuesday, July 8, our Manager of Community Engagement, Jodi Vanlerberghe, met with the Fort Custer National Cemetery Advisory Committee to share insights about hospice care and the vital need for Veteran Volunteers.

Veterans supporting fellow Veterans at the end of life creates a bond built on shared experience, respect, and honor. We're grateful for the opportunity to build these meaningful connections in our community.
