Mental health challenges don’t discriminate, but young men often face unique pressures that make it harder to speak up. Whether it’s screening for anxiety and depression, offering therapy referrals, or providing safe treatment options, you're not alone in this. Speaking up is a sign of strength, and reaching out for support is a powerful move—not a weak one. Prioritizing your well-being is a meaningful step, and taking that first step is what matters most.

We can help you with that. It's time to get a doctor. ➡️ https://bit.ly/434ug2X

Beth Adams’ journey in health care began in a nursing home, where she developed a deep appreciation for caring for older adults and even considered a master’s degree in gerontology. Although that path wasn’t in the cards, she quickly found her calling elsewhere.

In January 1985, she joined Norton Clark Hospital as a medical/surgical nurse. Just two years later, colleagues encouraged her to give the intensive care unit (ICU) a try, and it turned out to be a perfect fit. Six-and-a-half years into her ICU career, she transitioned to the day shift and has been making an impact there ever since.

Beth recalls a time when getting hired at the hospital often came down to who you knew, and she’s grateful she had a connection to help open that door. Reflecting on her career, she considers joining Norton Healthcare one of the best things that’s ever happened to her. To Beth, the “big blue N” is more than a logo; it’s her shining star.

Thank you, Beth, for 40 years of heartfelt service and dedication. 🥰

"The Norton Healthcare Palliative Care team helped me in so many ways. The team is so kind and caring, and almost everything I need is in one location.

I’ve also gotten help emotionally through art therapy and music therapy." - Teresa Smith, Norton Cancer Institute patient

Meet Michele Burgess — a hospice nurse whose own journey with Stage 4 breast cancer is a powerful example of strength, compassion, and hope. 🩷

Diagnosed in 2020, Michele didn’t let fear quiet her calling. She stayed at the bedside — leading a hospice unit, driving through the night to care for others — even while undergoing chemo.

But when her cancer returned, with a mutation that made standard treatments no longer effective, Michele joined a clinical trial. Not just for medicine, but for the chance to reclaim what matters: time with family, being truly heard, and caring for others with all her heart.

Today she’s got good news: her most recent scans are stable. Nothing new. Nothing growing. A moment of relief, a moment of gratitude.

Norton Healthcare is proud to offer natural-looking options that help women feel whole again.
