Today, several members of our Lake Butler Hospital and Clinic teams spent the morning with more than 700 students at Lake Butler Middle School for Career Day. It was amazing to see the gym packed with local businesses and community organizations, each giving students a real look at the careers that keep Union County strong.

Many students shared interests in careers across healthcare and medical science, including doctors, nurses, therapists, radiologists, surgeons, CNAs, biotechnology, medical innovation, and even genetic engineering.

Today showed us that the future of healthcare is in good hands.

To our team members who volunteered their time and energy today, thank you for representing Lake Butler Hospital with enthusiasm, kindness, and a genuine commitment to the next generation.

What a beautiful morning at Let’s THRIVE. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the room feel warm, joyful, and full of connection. Holly and Shannon shared simple and practical wellness steps for better blood sugar and diabetes support, and our movement, conversations, and group challenges brought out so many smiles.

Our Season to Savor autumn menu, featuring fresh-made sweet potato gnocchi, crispy garlic green beans, cranberry pumpkin bread, and a cranberry rosemary spritz, added comfort, steady energy, and true fall flavor to the morning.

These moments together remind us how important it is to slow down, take care of ourselves, and stay connected to our community. We are grateful for each of you.
