National Rehabilitation Awareness Week is our chance to recognize our team members for helping our patients in so many ways. From tiny steps to regain speech; from learning how to button a button again to putting on shoes; from eating a meal to getting into a car safely. Our rehab team of speech, occupational and physical therapists help to improve the quality of life for each patient they serve. During this special week, we honor our rehab specialists who give so much to help our patients gain so much. We are grateful to our team for all they do.

Our volunteer resources department recently hosted its annual Living Springs Retreat at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa.

The free event brought together women from all ages and backgrounds with one thing in common. They are cancer survivors and thrivers.

Attendees were treated to a day of spa treatments, as well as fun participating in a drum circle, listening to speakers, enjoying delicious meals and visiting with our Caring Paws dogs.

Janet Bell, manager of volunteer resources and retail operations, said, “They came as strangers and left as sisters.”

Special thanks to our Morton Plant Mease Foundation for making this special weekend possible.

Happy Birthday to us! This month we are celebrating 60 years of serving our West Pasco community. On Sept. 1, 1965, West Pasco Hospital, which later became North Bay Hospital, opened. In 1999, Morton Plant Mease Health Care Inc. purchased the hospital, and we became part of the BayCare Health System. In 2003, we officially became Morton Plant North Bay Hospital.

Since 1999, BayCare has invested millions of dollars to expand the campus, improve technology, develop innovative programs and add services to meet the needs of our rapidly growing community. Recently, we welcomed our first class for our internal medicine residency program and are excited to be training new physicians to serve our patients.

We are proud to offer our community clinical excellence and compassionate care and look forward to the next 60 years of serving our community. Find out more about us: https://bit.ly/4g7POkL
