A well-deserved congratulations to Ann O’Brien, the Willow Award recipient for excellence in Respiratory Care. Ann was nominated by both patients and employees at Hospital for Special Care for her kind, compassionate commitment to care. As her patients' state, “Ann is a friendly face in a new environment who listens, reassures and puts her at ease, always with a smile.” We thank her for her ongoing commitment to her patients and profession!

Earlier this month we recognized our volunteers at both HFSC and Manes & Motions with a "Volunteers are Sweet" themed celebration! Like a favorite dessert, their kindness adds warmth, comfort, and joy to our patients, participants and staff. Our volunteers remind us that the best things in life aren’t things, they’re people who give freely, love deeply and serve humbly. They remind us that compassion is the most powerful medicine of all. On behalf of our staff, patients, athletes, riders and the families — thank you! We are grateful that you choose to stand with us and support our mission to rebuild lives. (fb)
