Who says healthcare can’t be fun⁉️

We had a great time at the first ever Scrubs & Science! Our staff embraced their inner microbes 🦠 while showing students that infection prevention and control can be both educational and entertaining!

A little science, a lot of laughs, and hopefully some future healthcare professionals inspired along the way! Thank you Wilson Education Partnership for the opportunity

💗 Pink Out! 💗

On Thursday, October 1, our staff kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink in support of everyone affected by breast cancer. 🎀

We’re proud to stand together to raise awareness, show our support, and honor the strength of survivors, those currently fighting, and the loved ones we’ve lost.

Thank you to our amazing staff for helping us turn October 1 into a sea of pink! 💕

🎀 Together, we wear pink. Together, we raise awareness. Together, we support the fight.

Today, we wear purple to raise awareness 💜

In recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day, several of our staff wore their End Overdose shirts, and those who were available gathered for a group photo. The empty chair represents someone who was loved and is deeply missed because of overdose.

Today is a time to remember the lives lost, support those who are grieving, end the stigma surrounding substance use, and celebrate those in recovery. Every empty chair seen today across Wilson County represents someone who mattered and will never be forgotten.
