One by one and at various times throughout the morning, a variety of hospital employees visited the Guest Assistance Desk with a single flower stem in hand to present to volunteer Kay Simon. At the end of her shift, Kay had received 30 fresh cut flowers to represent her 30 years of volunteer service to our hospital and patients. ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒท

Lots of laughter, hugs, smiles and stories were shared, along with a tear or two, as Kay reveled in the surprise celebration that was orchestrated by Mag Leis, the Volunteer Services coordinator. โค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ By the way, good thing she didn't receive a flower for every HOUR of service, which totals 3,255!

๐ŸŽ‰ Big news in Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital! Thanks to proceeds from the Pacific Communities Health District Foundationโ€™s 2025 Gala & Auction, weโ€™ve welcomed three new recumbent steppers. Gratefully, an additional anonymous donor generously funded a new elliptical machine for the department. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

The team is thrilled to replace aging equipment and expand access for patients. As Manager Ashley Nordstrom shared, โ€œThe Nu-Steps are our most popular and adaptable machines. Replacing them allows us to increase class sizes and serve more patients in our community.โ€

With thousands of patient visits each year, this upgrade will make a real impact. Even Department Secretary Marcy couldnโ€™t resist testing out the new gear! ๐Ÿ’™

โœจ Key benefits of the new lift:
โ€ข Patients can walk behind the lift for greater independence and mobility.
โ€ข Disposable slings improve hygiene and availability.

Your support makes equipment like this possible and improves access to care for the whole community.
