Congrats to our Spring 2025 DAISY Award Honoree, Jessica Ta, RN! 🎉
Read Jessica's nomination ⤵️
Jessica has been exceptional since the moment she started in this department. Jessica goes above and beyond for every patient. In our population, patients come in at their lowest point and often at a critical time in their life where they are ready to make the choice to get sober. Jessica fights for every patient to have the chance to be heard and seek treatment. I have seen her sit with patients for hours trying to help them get sober enough to meet criteria for admission. She has spent days and hours tracking down referrals for patients who do not have the resources to do so themselves and advocates for them to get the care they deserve. Jessica brings the same energy to her team members. She is caring, compassionate, and a team player beyond measure.
Join us in congratulating Jessica đź‘Ź

📖 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.” - Psalm 28:7

Did you know there’s a form of that can actually be treated?
It’s called normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), and it often shows up as difficulty walking or loss of bladder control. These symptoms are sometimes mistaken for aging or Alzheimer’s, but NPH is different and treatable if caught early.
Dr. Warren Boiling and our neurosurgery team can use a small device called a shunt to safely drain excess spinal fluid from the brain. With today’s advanced technology, many patients can experience major improvements in mobility, cognition and quality of life without complications.

Congrats to our Spring 2025 DAISY Award Honoree, Laurie Krause, RN! 🎉
Read Laurie's nomination ⤵️
Laurie is new in her charge nurse role at the Outpatient Surgery Center, and she is doing an amazing job. She is open-minded; she researches matters thoroughly and communicates in an excellent manner. She has been connecting with the team in an amazing way. I was so impressed by the compassion and friendship she is extending to her teammates.
A week later, one of our employees had chest pain and became diaphoretic during working hours. The employee was accompanied to the ER. It was Laurie’s day off. However, someone texted her to let her know what was happening. Laurie was committed to informing the spouse of the employee. When Laurie called the spouse, they thanked Laurie and said, “ok Laurie, I will meet you in the ER”. Laurie was so compassionate that she immediately drove from home (Yucaipa) to our ER.
I just want to thank Laurie for what she is doing. I want to thank her for the love she is showing to all of us and for making the most of the opportunities to serve others in our OSC family.
Join us in celebrating Laurie đź‘Ź

We show up with our whole hearts, not for recognition, not for praise, but because we believe in a higher purpose. We believe that compassion is a calling, and healing is a form of ministry.
