Mission Health

As we begin National Hospital Week, we proudly honor our colleagues for the positive impact they make in the lives of not only our patients and community members, but each other, as well. 💙 We are bound together by a collective mission: Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. And that is no more evident than in this story of registered nurse Elle's surprise graduation from her Mission Hospital Labor & Delivery teammates. 👩🎓 "I feel incredibly supported by the team on L&D. From the scrub techs, CNAs, nurses, doctors - it's everyone on the floor. I work with the very best." Thank you to Elle and all of our colleagues for their dedication and support of every person who comes through our doors each day. When you care like family, it shows.

From one legendary MAMA to another: Happy Mother's Day! 💖💐 Mothers come in many forms, and today we celebrate all the extraordinary moms out there. From helping WNC women become mothers every day to honoring the hard work and unwavering dedication of the moms we are privileged to serve alongside as colleagues, we thank them all for inspiring us in everything that they do. Don't forget to show your appreciation to the special mother figures in your life this #MothersDay! 📸 MAMA - Mountain Area Medical Airlift and Ambulance

Animal therapy at its finest! 🐇🐴🦆 Our amazing Highlands-Cashiers Hospital RNs also had a blast celebrating Nurses Week with a very special petting zoo!

“Nursing is actually nursing wherever you are from, whether it’s from Kenya, whether it’s from the United States... Wherever you are, nursing is nursing.” - Mission Hospital Registered Nurse, Delvine Otieno Throughout Nurses Week and #InternationalNursesDay on May 12, the contributions of nurses are celebrated around the world. 🌎 Mission Health is especially fortunate to be home to around 40 internationally-educated nurses from Kenya, Colombia, Ghana, the Philippines and beyond. All of our nurses are an integral part of leading the way in addressing diversity and creating a culture of nursing excellence, belonging and a positive practice environment. Sharing an understanding of our lived experiences across the globe is a crucial step toward a supportive and thriving care team. To all of our nurses, we thank you and wish you a happy, healthy #NursesWeek! 💙 Watch the WLOS ABC 13 interview with Delvine and fellow RN, Louis Owusu, here: https://bit.ly/3QB4Gg0

In recognition of April being #NationalVolunteerMonth, our colleagues were out and about in WNC serving in numerous ways with many organizations! 🍎🐶🗑🛠🌳 Just last month alone, our Mission Health teams put in nearly 800 hours at organizations pictured here, including Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry, Rosman High School, Kaylee's Closet, Southside Community Garden, Asheville Humane Society, Food Connection, Foothills Food Hub, Asheville GreenWorks, Macon County Care Network, Babies Need Bottoms and Buncombe Partnership for Children.
