What an amazing time today at this year’s Associate Picnic! Our teams had a blast “sliming” leadership to support the Helping Hands Fund and our hospital associate committee.

A huge thank you to our hospital leaders — you were such great sports and helped raise funds that will directly benefit our associates! And a special round of applause for our incredible hospital teams. 👏🎉 Without your dedication to caring for others, we would not be able to provide the high-quality care our community depends on!
