Each year, on the first Friday in February, millions across the country wear red in support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement. Along with associates proudly wearing red on February 1, Providence’s first floor windows were lined with red dresses and the fountain outside the hospital was lit with red lights. Kristen Velez, stroke program coordinator, Providence volunteers Cathy Kiekamp and Evelyn Farney, and Ellen Bridger, fourth floor director, (all pictured) provided information about the risk factors of heart disease and how to take action to reduce personal risk. Our friends from KWTX came over to document our Go Red for Women activities and then headed up to the cath lab to visit with Dr. Charles Shoultz, III about the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Family and friends joined Linda Erlanson for a retirement reception hosted January 15. Linda dedicated 30 years of service to our ministry as the director of the lab. Click Here for more photos.
