✨ Congratulations, Lindsay Gubala, BSN, RN! ✨

Last night, our Mount St. Mary's Hospital and Health Center Emergency Department Nurse Manager, Lindsay Gubala, BSN, RN, was recognized by the Big Lakes EMS Council as their Registered Nurse of Excellence, a well‑deserved honor reflecting her outstanding leadership and impact on emergency care.

Lindsay understands how critical the moments between prehospital care and hospital treatment truly are. Through strong collaboration and clear communication with EMS partners, she ensures seamless transitions of care built on trust, respect, and teamwork.
A dedicated advocate for excellence, Lindsay has helped advance education and training through innovative initiatives, including a first‑of‑its‑kind, full‑scale cardiac arrest simulation that brought together every phase of care, from dispatch to ED handoff. Her leadership has improved EMS offload times, enhanced patient safety, and contributed to better patient outcomes.

Above all, Lindsay is known for her professionalism, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her patients and colleagues.

💙 Volunteer Week is rolling on, and today we’re celebrating some true Lockport gems! 💎

This amazing group includes our LMH volunteers and dedicated community members who proudly serve through the Lockport Memorial Hospital Guild. From showing up week after week to guide patients through the registration process, to raising vital funds for our LMH Comfort Cart and scholarships, their impact is felt across our campus every single day.

We truly could not do all that we do for our associates and patients without them. Thank you for the work you do so passionately, and for being such an important part of the LMH family! 💙✨

🐾 Volunteer Week Spotlight: Our Four‑Legged Volunteers! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating two volunteers who don’t need name badges or thumbs to leave a lasting impression!

Sophie and Java make a huge impact wherever they go. Whether they’re bringing smiles to the faces of our Clearview patients or giving our associates a chance to pause, breathe, and soak up some much‑needed puppy love.

These pups remind us kindness comes in all shapes, sizes, and species. Thank you, Sophie and Java, and a big thank you to your humans, for sharing your time, love, and puppy magic with our campuses. You truly make a difference! 🐾✨

✨ It’s Volunteer Week at Mount St. Mary’s! ✨

We’re kicking off the week by celebrating our incredible volunteers across the Mount St. Mary's campuses, one amazing group (and person!) at a time. Every day this week, we’ll be highlighting those who give so generously of their time, talents, and hearts to our hospital community 💙

Today, we’re thrilled to spotlight Jessica Freeman!
Jessica has been a dedicated volunteer at Mount St. Mary’s Hospital for more years than she’d probably like to count, and her impact is truly remarkable. She served as President of the St. Francis Guild of MSMH for many years before proudly passing the torch to her daughter, Katie, and she now runs our Mount St. Mary’s Gift Shop.

In 2025 alone, Jessica volunteered 552 hours in the Gift Shop, and that’s just part of the story! In total, this amazing group contributed an incredible 1,994 volunteer hours. 👏

A special shout-out to Sandy Basile, who generously volunteered an outstanding 602 hours. Thank you, Sandy!

Be sure to stop by the Gift Shop and see what these ladies have to offer. From jewelry and candy to personal care items and books, there’s something for everyone, and something special to brighten a loved one’s day if you’re visiting the hospital. All proceeds benefit the St. Francis Guild of MSMH and their mission to support projects and initiatives at Mount St. Mary's Hospital.

💐 Thank you, Jessica, and thank you to all the volunteers of the Mount St. Mary’s Gift Shop. We are so grateful for everything you do!

This Doctor's Day, let us take a moment to recognize the extraordinary skill and compassion that our doctors display every day. Through the work they do and the lives they change, their dedication to quality patient care extends far beyond the walls of our facilities.

Gail Niezgoda experienced a fall outside and feared that her claustrophobia would intensify the frightening situation. However, she was pleasantly surprised by the compassionate care and comfort provided by the emergency team at Lockport Memorial.

"I want to recognize Drs. Navern Seth and Shikha Joshia, along with the entire emergency team at Lockport Memorial Hospital on Doctors’ Day. It’s a chance to thank people who are there when you need them most."
