As a registered nurse on the labor and delivery unit in Bemidji, Bethany Anderson helps with a lot of births. Most of them are joyous occasions for mothers and their families, but sometimes things don't go as planned.

Ten years ago, one of her patients, Amanda, was facing the devastating reality that her first baby had no heartbeat at the time of delivery.

Bethany helped her grieve and years later, when Amanda found out she was pregnant again, she knew exactly who she wanted to be there for her rainbow baby's delivery.

Amanda Templin and Bethany Anderson, RN, are friends who met in labor and delivery. Anderson has since seen Templin through two births.

"I thought I understood the role of a caregiver. But now I know I really didn't understand it until I went through my own health problems," said Randy Smith. "The care I've received from my Sanford team – watching them put on a uniform every day and stand with us when we're at our most vulnerable – you see that they truly do care. They put their heart into it."

Randy, an author, was diagnosed with Stage 4 thyroid cancer in August 2024. His first book, The Road Unknown: My Cancer Journey, contains poetry he wrote while in the ICU at Sanford Fargo. The faith-based collection recently won an International Impact Award for poetry.
