Hospital happenings

Encompass Health Fitchburg enjoyed spreading cheer and brightening our patient's day by giving them tie-dye shirts. Stephanie was admitted to our hospital after a hip fracture. Stephanie was always positive during her stay, and her fun attitude helped inspire tie-dye Tuesday. All patients received a tie-dyed T-shirt made by our controller, Heather, which really brought a lot of color and happiness to everyone. Upon discharge, Stephanie had these wise words to share: "Take care of yourselves and love yourselves the same way you take care of and love your patients." It was a pleasure having her, and we all wish her the best on her continued recovery!
