From Our Team to Theirs: Supporting SisterHouse on Mother’s Day

For several years, the general surgery nursing team has held a special Mother’s Day tradition by delivering care bags filled with goodies and personal items to the women at SisterHouse Recovery Home, a temporary home for women seeking recovery from substance abuse. This initiative is especially meaningful because it is entirely supported by the generous donations of this team, who donate both the items and their time to pack each bag with care. This ongoing act of kindness demonstrates the unit’s commitment to extending compassion beyond the hospital walls and into the community.
