Tune in and turn it up - Patti Motyka, Program Director of Rehab Services, and Dr. Gregory Zuercher, Rehab Unit Physician, joined United Way’s Community Connections radio show yesterday on AM 1590 WSMN to talk all about the Acute Rehab Center at St. Joseph Hospital.
They shared how our team is helping patients regain strength, restore independence, and move forward with expert, compassionate care every step of the way. We are proud to spotlight the incredible services provided by our Acute Rehab Center and the dedicated professionals who make such a meaningful difference every day.
We’re proud to share that St. Joseph Hospital has been named a Top Hospital Gold Standard 2026 by Castle Connolly! 🏆✨This recognition reflects a rigorous, data-driven evaluation across six critical performance metrics over a three-year period, highlighting hospitals that demonstrate exceptional patient outcomes and quality of care.
St. Joseph Hospital earned distinction for Specialty Excellence in Cancer Care and OB/GYN Surgeries, as well as Procedure-Specific Excellence in
our C-Section Care and Mastectomy - a testament to the dedication of our physicians, nurses, and staff who put patients first every day. 💙
We were honored to be a sponsor and attend the 35th Annual PLUS Company Wild Irish Breakfast. Friday morning was filled with laughter, community spirit, and plenty of good-natured humor. We appreciated all the politicians who came out and were willing to trade a few jokes at each other’s expense for a great cause.
At St. Joseph Hospital, we are especially proud of our connection through Project SEARCH, which reflects our shared belief in empowering individuals through education, training, and workplace experience. Thank you to PLUS Company for all you do and for allowing us to be part of such a special tradition.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month 💙
We were proud to recently host our Strollin' Through the Colon event, where community members had the opportunity to learn more about colon health in a fun, interactive way. Events like this help start important conversations, reduce stigma, and remind everyone that routine screenings are one of the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event, and continues to help spread awareness during Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Together, we can make a difference through education, prevention, and safe, proactive care.

We are excited to share a new comfort-forward option for our Labor and Delivery patients - our new Labor/Hydrotherapy Tub. We blessed this tub earlier today.
Some benefits to laboring in water can include pain reduction, freedom of movement, and a decrease in maternal stress.
It is one more way we are expanding supportive, personalized care for our moms and families - right here at The Birth Center of Nashua at St. Joseph Hospital.

We are incredibly grateful to Pamm Hughes and her Science Club at St. Christopher Academy. Through their work with a Hydroponic growing system, they have successfully harvested a large crop of fresh lettuce for our food pantry.
Even more inspiring, this project is now becoming part of the 7th grade Life Science curriculum. The four students who helped lead these first harvests will now teach the lesson and train the next group of young growers. This is what community partnership looks like - education, compassion, and action coming together to care for others.

Ash Wednesday is a quiet invitation.
An invitation to pause.
To reflect.
The ashes are a symbol of humility and hope. In healthcare, we are called to that same posture - to serve with gentleness, to listen with intention, and to walk with patients in both uncertainty and healing. Today, we reflect on our mission and recommit ourselves to care that is rooted in dignity, mercy, and compassion.
