It's EMS Week and we are celebrating these incredible team members who bring lifesaving care straight to the scene.

Your dedication, skill, and heart make all the difference. Thank you for showing up, stepping up and saving lives every single day.

Nurses are the beating heart of health care. At hospitals, clinics, and homes all across our community, their tenacity and dedication provide the strong foundation that our expert, compassionate care is built upon. Many of us can recall a memory of a nurse who was there for us when we needed them most—a nurse who held your hand, reassured you that you weren't alone, and cheered you on through it all. This #NursesWeek, we honor the difference-making, lifesaving nurses at BJC and all across our community. Thank you. 💙

To all nurses: If we had a trophy big enough to match your impact, we’d need a new hospital to store it. 🏆 From soothing worries to saving lives, you are the heartbeat of health care. This week, we celebrate you—from calming nerves to tackling charting chaos, your dedication and drive is critical to ensuring all patients receive extraordinary care. And a special note to our BJC HealthCare and Saint Luke's nurses: thank you. Your work in this profession changes lives, and we are beyond grateful to have you on our team.

This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the incredible volunteers who bring kindness, care, and inclusivity to our communities every day. Your dedication makes a lasting impact, and we’re beyond grateful for the support you provide to our patients, families, and teams. Thank you for all you do!
