Thank you BHS Staff

As 2021 ends, on behalf of the Administrative Team and our Board of Directors, I want to thank you and your families for your commitment and dedication to our Health System, Community and patients. You continue to “Rise Up” to the numerous challenges we face.

Since the start of the COVID pandemic we have seen 750 inpatient admissions, completed 42,000 COVID tests, provided 33,000 vaccinations and 5,000 booster shots. Without a doubt you “Rise Up” to take care of our Community.

In addition to the COVID crisis, we have had an inpatient census that has not been seen in over 30 years. You are working extra shifts to provide the necessary care. Once again you “Rise Up” to care for our patients and each other.

2022 will present new challenges and opportunities. COVID will bring new variants that will challenge us and our nation…You will Rise Up. Staffing challenges will persist…You will Rise Up. New competition will enter our market…You will Rise Up. The Joint Commission will visit us…You will Rise Up. We will move forward to provide new services like our Freestanding Birthing Center…You will Rise Up. Please take a moment to view the video below that celebrates and honors your efforts.
