Northwest Texas Healthcare System

Happy #PhysicalTherapyMonth! 🎉 Our Pediatric Physical Therapy team at NWTHS is dedicated to helping children grow, develop, and reach their full potential! 💪👶 Whether it's Amanda adapting therapy in the water to support mobility or Kenzie engaging little ones with toys on the ground to build strength and coordination, our therapists are adaptable and meet each child where they are. 🌊🤸♂️ We are so grateful for their passion and commitment to providing personalized care every step of the way.

Today, we celebrate the vital role our case managers play in advocating for our patients every step of the way by celebrating Healthcare Case Management Week. 🎉 From coordinating care to providing support, they ensure that every patient's needs are met with compassion and dedication. Thank you to our incredible case management team for making a difference in the lives of so many! 💙

🌟 Congratulations to our latest DAISY Award Winner, Sundy! 🌟 We are thrilled to recognize Sundy, an extraordinary nurse in our Family Care Unit, for going above and beyond in providing compassionate care. A recent patient shared their story about Sundy’s unwavering support during their recovery after a c-section, helping them reach important milestones and easing their transition home with a newborn. The patient shared, “Sundy went above and beyond for our family, and we will forever be grateful. She truly has found her calling.” We are proud to honor Sundy for embodying the very best in nursing and patient care. Thank you, Sundy, for making a lasting impact! 💚🌼

Today, on World Infant and Pregnancy Loss Day, we stand in solidarity with every family carrying the weight of a silent grief. Pregnancy loss touches 1 in 4 families in the United States—1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and 1 in 160 end in stillbirth. These numbers represent dreams unfulfilled and love that remains forever. We honor the memories of the little ones who left too soon and the unwavering courage of those who hold their absence close. You are not alone.

Happy National Perinatal Nurses Week! 🌸👶 Our dedicated perinatal nurses play a vital role in guiding parents and babies through one of life's most significant journeys. From pregnancy through childbirth and beyond, they provide expert care, compassion, and support to ensure both parents and newborns receive the best start possible. Join us in celebrating these incredible healthcare heroes who make a difference every step of the way!

🙏💙 As we wrap up Mental Illness Awareness Week, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Tami West for leading an inspiring Pennal Lecture on "Refiling the Well: Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Helping Professions." Her insights and compassion have helped us reflect on the importance of mental health and self-care in our daily lives. A special thank you to everyone who attended and to our partners at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Texas Panhandle Centers for making this event possible. Let's continue the conversation and support one another in prioritizing mental wellness!

🌍💚 On World Mental Health Day, let's take a moment to remind ourselves that we are never alone in our struggles. Positive affirmations can be powerful tools in nurturing our mental well-being. Remember: you are strong, you are valued, and you matter. In the U.S., more than one in five adults live with a mental illness—so if you're facing challenges, know that you're not alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. We're here to help. 💬 Reach out to Northwest Behavioral Health at 800-537-2585 or 806-354-1810 if you need someone to talk to.
