The president and CEO of Baxter Health in Mountain Home recently issued a word of thanks to the public, addressing those who provided help during the emergency situations in Arkansas on the morning of Sunday, May 26th.
"I would like to personally thank everyone who was involved in the Code Yellow Disaster event on Sunday morning at Baxter Health. ... Whether it was our ambulance crews who were first on the scene, our physicians, nurses, or ancillary staff at the hospital, or our staff checking on Home Health and Hospice patients for oxygen and other needs, everyone played a crucial role. Additionally, others like Air Evac assisted us in setting up a triage area ... Thank you all very much. I know that there is still a lot to deal with in the aftermath of the storms. Your continued commitment to help is still present and obvious."
Editor's Note: Thank you, Ron Peterson (president and CEO) for exemplifying community collaboration, leadership, and humanity. News of natural disasters throughout our nation has become normal: tornados, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, blizzards, and more. Behind each incident are hospice patients, caregivers/families, professionals, volunteers, and community services who rally together to provide safety and support. (For our readers, whom might you reach out and thank, for their crucial support through a past crisis?)
