What. A. Week.
Hard to believe it’s only been seven days since this winter freeze rolled in and turned everything upside down. Our entire community has been navigating challenges, disruptions, and long hours—but through it all, we’ve witnessed incredible teamwork, resilience, and compassion.
We want to take a moment to celebrate our entire Highpoint team for going above and beyond in every way. From snow shoveling and blowing in the frigid elements, to repairing burst pipes, stocking extra supplies, prepping additional rooms for overnight staff, feeding what felt like the entire world, and—most importantly—continuing to deliver care with compassion and courtesy… you all stepped up.
No hesitation. No complaints. Just heart. And even in the chaos, you found moments to laugh, support one another, and keep the energy positive.
Across the system, we did our best to create warm, safe, and restful spaces to breathe and regroup. On Wednesday, teams enjoyed a cozy cocoa-and-cookie break, and on Friday we celebrated Fun at Work Day by delivering candy and smiles to every department. There has been prayer. There has been gratitude. And there has been a deep sense of community that we’ll remember long after the ice melts.
To close out the week, all directors at Highpoint Health – Sumner signed a “Thank You Snow Much” card for every healthcare hero who worked through the big freeze. It’s a small gesture for the enormous difference you made.
To our Highpoint family: thank you for your strength, your service, and your spirit.
This week was tough—but you made it extraordinary.
