Day 5 - Massage & Mocktails: Hospital Week ended with relaxation, refreshment, and a little extra care for the Lake Butler Hospital team. Our Massage & Mocktails event gave all staff a chance to step away from work, or come in, enjoy a professional chair massage, sip something refreshing, and take a few minutes to reset after a full week of celebration.

And for our night crew who couldn't make it, we listened to your requests and got the appreciation cooking. Homemade omelets, pancakes, fresh fruit, and mocktails helped bring a little very early morning comfort to the team holding things down after hours.

Friday was all about pouring care back into the people who care for others every day. From relaxed shoulders to full plates, we hope our team felt seen, valued, and celebrated.

Happy Hospital Week to our amazing LBH team!

Thank you so much to The Healing House of Alachua for coming out and taking care of our staff.

Day 4 - Popcorn Bar: Hospital Week popped into Thursday with sweet treats, salty snacks, and a little extra joy for the team that keeps Lake Butler Hospital moving. Our Popcorn Bar gave staff a chance to stop by, grab a fun afternoon treat, enjoy cupcakes, and take a well-deserved moment to pause during a busy day. Thursday’s celebration was a small but meaningful way to kernel our appreciation into something simple, fun, and memorable.

From the first scoop to the final topping, the day was all about celebrating the everyday heroes who bring care, comfort, and compassion to Lake Butler Hospital. Our team truly makes every day brighter, and today, we were happy to butter them up a little. Happy Hospital Week to our amazing LBH team!
