The power of words - let's spread some love!

🎉Thank you to all who have taken a moment to uplift one another with your kind and encouraging words! You can still put in an envelope for yourself AND continue returning to the Nurse's Station to fill others' envelopes as they roll in.

Recognition boosts our mood and strengthens connections, so take this opportunity to appreciate your amazing colleagues—you never know how much your words might brighten someone’s day!

You’ll receive your envelope at the staff lunch on Dec 17th!

Let's celebrate one another together :)

A standing ovation for our Development Team!

On Friday, November 29th, we celebrated the first annual Winter Dreams Gala, a dazzling evening in support of Dr. Kemp’s House and Keaton’s House. Thanks to the incredible work of our Development Team, the event was a resounding success, wrapping up this fiscal year’s signature gala with style and impact.

Congratulations to everyone who made this magical night possible—your dedication and passion continue to make a difference! 💙
