A little dino is arriving soon! What will baby be? A handsome little boy or a beautiful little girl?

Sam, our licensed clinical social worker, and her husband, Wes, are excited to welcome their little dino here soon! Last week, we held a baby shower for the sweet little one. There were lots of guesses, but who guessed correctly? We will all know soon!

Congratulations Sam & Wes! We can't wait to meet baby!

Good morning!

Today, our employee spotlight shines brightly on Kait Riley! She has been helping our patients move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free. Kait has been a part of the Quad County family for 4 years.

Winter can intensify grief:
-Longer nights mean more darkness, which can mean more time alone with thoughts.
-Cold weather keeps people indoors, which can intensify loneliness and isolation.
-Winter slows the body down, and grief already feels heavy. It may feel like you are moving in slow motion.

Join us for Embrace, our grief support group, to shake off the winter blues. Let us help you find ways to look forward to the coming season change.

We meet again tomorrow evening at 6:30 pm in our office at 8 Huber Street, Pana.

Recovery doesn’t stop at surgery—it continues with the right support every step of the way.

After her ankle surgery, Reta transitioned to PCH’s Bridge to Home Swing Bed Program and then safely home with Quad County Home Health, where skilled nurses and therapists helped her regain strength and independence.💪

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Quad County.”

Stories like this are why we do what we do. 💙

Valentine’s Day arrives with its bright insistence on love, while grief moves quietly, unconcerned with dates. And still, somewhere between remembering and continuing, there is a softer kind of love: the love that honors what was, allows what is, and doesn’t rush what comes next.

Valentine’s Day comes, not to replace what was lost, but to remind us that love doesn’t disappear—it changes shape.
Love remains in memory, in kindness,
in the courage to begin again.

Holidays don't have to overwhelm you in grief.
We invite you to our grief support group, Embrace, to connect with other people who also feel overwhelmed in loss during a holiday.

Our next meeting is tomorrow, February 5th @ 6:30 pm. Our office is at 8 Huber St, Pana.

We hope to meet you there!
