Soul Compass Center

👋 Say hi to Shelby! Each week, she and other volunteers make “tuck in” calls to ensure patients and families have everything they need - supplies, medications, and peace of mind - for the weekend. It’s these extra touchpoints that bring comfort and support when it matters most! We appreciate all our volunteers do to help create the best experience for our patients and families! 📞💙

🌟 Partnerships in Action 🌟

Over the course of doing this work, we build strong partnerships with the people we serve alongside every day. Our peer support specialists have had the privilege of working closely with Atrium Wilkes Medical Center Security through our integration into the hospital setting, and today, we celebrate one of their own.

Today is Conner Elliott’s last day with us at the HP, as he begins an exciting new journey with the Coast Guard in New Jersey. 🚤🇺🇸

Conner has made a lasting impact on his peers at the hospital and has been a dedicated supporter of Wilkes Recovery Revolution. 💙

We will deeply miss him, but we are so proud of the meaningful work he is setting out to do and know he will succeed wherever he goes. Thank you, Conner, for your commitment, compassion, and partnership—you’ll always be part of the WRR family! 🙌

✨ The Fireflies of Summer ✨

In our most recent Moments Matter bereavement newsletter, bereavement coordinator Shannon Roberson reflects on how the glow of fireflies mirrors the unpredictable journey of grief and healing - moments of light and hope among shadows of loss, and finding our way back to the light. 🌿💛
