Wonder what gas prices were in 1991????

A patient wrote:
"I was in the hospital for 6 days with an illness that made me extremely sick and nearly took my life. Anna, from Home Health, came to my house for six weeks and got me through a very tough time. She was super! She even taught my wife how to take care of my IV on the days she wasn't there. I can't thank her enough!!"

Today was bittersweet for Baxter Home Health as we said goodbye to a fellow employee. We gathered to wish Brandy Standfield, LPN well in her new adventure and to let her know how much she will be missed by staff and patients. Brandy served as a home health nurse for the past 7 years. We know she will be a valuable asset in her new role, just as she has been here.

Till we see you again!

💙 Celebrating CNA & Caregiver Week – Honoring Amy! 💙

This week, (June 11-17) we proudly recognize Amy, one of the dedicated Certified Nursing Assistants at Baxter Health Home Health⁠, and celebrate the invaluable role caregivers play in the lives of our patients.

Amy’s work is often behind the scenes, but its impact is immeasurable. Through her compassionate care, she helps patients maintain their dignity, independence, comfort, and personal hygiene as they recover from illness, injury, or surgery in the comfort of their own homes. Her kindness, patience, and dedication make a difference every single day.

Caregivers and CNAs are the heart of healthcare. They provide not only physical assistance but also emotional support, encouragement, and companionship during some of life’s most challenging moments. Their work requires strength, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping others.

Please join us in thanking Amy and all caregivers for the extraordinary care they provide. Your dedication, hard work, and compassionate hearts do not go unnoticed. We are grateful for all that you do!

❤️ Happy CNA & Caregiver Week, Amy! Thank you for helping our patients heal with dignity and grace.
