FROM OUR CEO
To your health
Spring is a time of new
beginnings—a good time
to lighten up, slow down
and enjoy life. It’s also the
perfect time to spring-
clean your health.
Scottish theologian Carl
Bard said, “Though no one can go
back and make a brand-new start,
anyone can start from now and
make a brand-new ending.” This
is particularly true for your health.
Adopting healthy habits today will
redefine your future. It will help you
thrive for life.
Take advantage of extra daylight.
Exercise outdoors. Open windows
to bring fresh air inside. Add fresh
produce to your diet. These are
just a few of the health benefits
that spring brings.
At Regional Medical Center
(RMC), spring is also a time of
celebration: Doctors Day, Volunteer
Week, Nurses Week and Hospital
Week give us the opportunity to
be intentional with our recognition
and appreciation of our caregivers
who work together every day in
the name of RMC—in the interest
of your good health.
In these pages, you’ll find
important information on healthy
lifestyles and RMC services. Take
time to take care of your health—
and put a new spring in your step.
On behalf of all our employees
and physicians, thank you for your
continued support of and trust in
Regional Medical Center.
