Happy 99 years young to Mission Hospital legend Jim Rider! 🎉

Jim is a U.S. Navy veteran who served during World War II and the Korean War, a beloved longtime volunteer, and a familiar friendly face in our Patient Discharge Suite every Tuesday.

Today, Mission team members gathered with Jim’s daughters, Joan Ledford and Cathy Rogers, to celebrate with cake, decorations, cards, and plenty of smiles. Jim has been volunteering at Mission Hospital for decades, inspired by his wife Shirley’s service, and his legacy of giving back now continues through all three of his grandchildren.

Those who know Jim love his kindness, dedication, humor, and quick wit. When asked about retirement, Jim says he plans to keep volunteering for at least another 18 years!

Please join us in wishing Jim a very happy 99th birthday and thanking him for his incredible service to our patients, team members, and community. 💙

When seconds matter, having the highest level of trauma care close to home can make all the difference.

Mission Hospital is proud to be the only Level I Trauma Center serving Western North Carolina. This designation recognizes our ability to provide comprehensive, lifesaving trauma care 24/7, supported by highly specialized teams, advanced technology and coordinated emergency response across the region.

"Being a Level 1 Trauma Center is profoundly important. It means that if the unthinkable or an unexpected event happens to a resident of Western North Carolina, that they know that they can come to this trauma center and receive excellent care." - Alyssa Monda, Trauma Program Director

At Mission Health , we believe in elevating care by elevating each other — and our patient care technicians (PCTs) bring that to life every day.

During PCT Week, we proudly celebrate our PCTs whose work makes a meaningful impact across HCA Healthcare — a network that supports approximately 47 million patient encounters each year.

PCTs are integral members of the care team, delivering hands-on care that directly supports patient outcomes. From assisting with mobility, personal care and meals to collaborating continuously with nurses and interdisciplinary teams, PCTs contribute essential clinical and compassionate care throughout the day. Their role reflects both technical skill and a commitment to teamwork, making them a foundational part of high-quality patient care.

To our PCTs, thank you for the care, comfort and support you bring to patients and colleagues alike.
