Congratulations to Jolene Davis- Pine City Pharmacy!
Reason for Recognition? I had a patient who was having a hard time with getting his eye drops on a certain day. Jolene went above and beyond to work with him, so he was able to pick them up and get the drops started. So nice to have coworkers who really care about our patients.

Congratulations to Welia Nursing (Hospital/Clinic)!
Reason for Recognition? Resilience
The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties….
A word used every day
Though you’re tired of being tough and strong
Don’t let your true purpose stray
You see, you touch the hand of a loved one
With each interaction you make
Your impact as a small-town nurse
Has nurtured many in heartache
These words I want to prove to you
For it’s important that you know
The times of impact you have had
From just one person are below:
You laughed with grandpa before he passed in a Med-Surg rocking chair
You comforted my dad before a cardiovert and helped my family to prepare
You held my brothers dying hand and cried with tears of sadness
You gave my grandparents their first vaccine to protect against Covid madness
You saved my life post birth of twins as blood was leaving my body
You talked through times of confusion and pain and gave Kleenex when my sister was snotty
You casted my cousin and helped him to reach his goals for senior year
You loved my baby boy through his CT and helped him have no fear
You gowned and gloved and sweat like crazy to care for my loved one from Church
You answered questions my uncle had and assured him of your research
You responded to a devastating scene where my cousins were attacked
You let my daughter decorate her splint and 100% made an impact
You educated my brother on heart healthy things to do
And convinced my mom to spend the night when she had heart problems too.
You ran a stress test on my Papa, the man that I adore
And rest assured my friends I can think of many more
So, when resilience starts to fade
And your light is growing dim
Remember all the lives you’ve touched
Near small town Mora Minn.

Congratulations to Bethany Sjodin, Clinic Nurse Supervisor!
Reason for Recognition? On 12/20/2022, a couple received a ride to the Mora Clinic for an appointment, and the couple's driver decided to leave them due to their inability to pay. Couple was visibly upset as they lived approximately 12 miles from the clinic. Bethany came to the front desk for another purpose, noticed the couple's distress, and went to them immediately to offer her assistance. Bethany found they were abandoned, went and get her personal vehicle and transported them home. Bethany exemplifies the meaning of service to our patients! What an extraordinary act of kindness!
