Please join us in welcoming Geoffrey Mandala, MBA, our new Chief Financial Officer at Ray County Hospital and Healthcare.

Geoff comes to us with more than 12 years in finance, including eight years in healthcare leadership, and a deep commitment to the future of rural healthcare. In his own words:

"Rural healthcare has always held a special place for me. In a small town, your patients aren't strangers; they're your family, your friends, and your neighbors. It's personal, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

"A financially strong hospital means the ability to reinvest in our staff, our equipment, and our facilities, which ultimately translates to better care for the community."

Geoff and his family are relocating to Richmond, where they're excited to plant roots, get involved, and grow up alongside the neighbors they'll come to call friends.

Welcome to Ray County, Geoff.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your mind is slow down for a few minutes and let yourself create.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, our Senior Life Solutions team has put together four free coloring pages. Print one (or all four), grab whatever crayons or markers you have nearby, and take a quiet moment for yourself. No skill required. No "right" way to color. Just a small reminder that peace, awesome-ness, and possibility are already inside you.

Save this post or download the pages and share with anyone who could use a calm minute today.

If you or someone you love could use mental health support, our Senior Life Solutions program is here. Call (816) 470-5432 to learn more.

Mental health is so much more than how we feel on any given day.

It's getting enough sleep. It's the people we love. It's our daily routines, our hobbies, our laughter, our hard days, and how we move through them. It's asking for help when we need it, and being there when someone else does.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're reminded that mental health really is everything, and that more good days are something we build together.

If you or someone you love could use a little extra support, our Senior Life Solutions program is here. Call (816) 470-5432 to learn more.

Friday means green again at Ray County Hospital & Healthcare. 💚

Throughout May, we're wearing green on Fridays to keep mental health awareness front and center. Every conversation we start, every shirt we wear, and every check-in with a friend chips away at the stigma that keeps people from asking for help.

If you or a loved one could use support, our Senior Life Solutions program is here. Call (816) 470-5432.

Show us your green today!

Chalk is available at our Senior Life Solutions office. You don't need a reason, you don't need a plan, you just need a few minutes and something kind to say.

It's National EMS Week, and we couldn't let it pass without saying a big thank you to the team at Ray County Ambulance District. 🚑

These are the folks who answer the call at all hours, in all weather, for our neighbors on what is often the hardest day of their lives. They're the steady hands in the back of the rig, the calm voices on the way to the ER, and the partners we count on every single time those doors swing open at Ray County Hospital & Healthcare.

This year's EMS Week theme is Improving Outcomes, Together, and it could not be more fitting. We're proud to work alongside you in caring for this community.

Thank you for everything you do.

What a way to wrap up National Hospital Week!

Our team gathered last Friday for a BBQ to celebrate everything that makes this place what it is, each other. After a week of recognizing all the ways healing happens here, it felt right to close it out around a grill with the people who make it all possible.

Thank you to our entire team at Ray County Hospital & Healthcare for everything you bring to this hospital. We are lucky to have you.

Many older adults grew up in a time when mental health was not openly discussed. As a result, myths like "I should handle this on my own" or "this is just part of getting older" can make it harder to reach out.

The truth is that support can make a meaningful difference. Depression, anxiety, and grief are treatable, and no one has to navigate them alone.

Ray County Hospital & Healthcare's Senior Life Solutions program supports older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. Starting the conversation can be the first step toward feeling better.

As National Hospital Week comes to a close, we wanted to share a note from our CEO, Lisa DeKezel:

"This week has been such a meaningful one. Watching our team show up day after day with care, kindness, and skill is a privilege I never take for granted. To every member of the Ray County Hospital & Healthcare family, thank you. You are the reason healing happens here.

And to our community, thank you for trusting us with the moments that matter. We are honored to serve you, and we're so glad to call this place home.

Go be great. — Lisa"

P.S. Lisa caught one of our Chalk the Walk messages on her way in this week. 💚 Don't forget, we're wearing green every Friday in May for Mental Health Awareness Month, and chalk is available at our Senior Life Solutions office anytime you'd like to leave your own message of hope.

It's Wear Green Day! 💚

All across our hospital and our community, we're wearing green today to show support for mental health awareness and help break down the stigma that keeps so many people from asking for help.

Green stands for renewal, hope, and vitality. And every shirt, scarf, or pair of socks is a quiet way of saying: your mental health matters, and you're not alone.

If you or someone you love could use support, our Senior Life Solutions program is here. Call (816) 470-5432 to learn more.
