DEAR COMMUNITY MEMBERS
AND FRIENDS:
Hello. I hope this note finds you
relaxing with the many fun activities
of summer.
At Jackson Hospital, our dedi-
cated team of physicians, nurses,
support staff, volunteers and board
members are passionate about serv-
ing our communities and providing
you and your families with the very
best of care.
I am excited to share with you
that, as part of our continuing com-
mitment to establishing the best
team of caregivers, Jackson Hos-
pital has introduced its first nurse
residency program for new graduate
nurses. We’re proud to be the only
hospital in the area to offer this
type of program, which will provide
continued training for nurses while
improving patient care.
We know many of you are getting
ready for the new school year. This
issue of
Partners
is packed with in-
formation to help you prepare, from
healthy lunch tips for children to
getting your high school graduates
on the road to college.
Thank you for making Jackson
Hospital your hospital. We always
welcome your feedback. I wish you
and your family good health!
Joe B. Riley
