One year ago, on March 8, 2020, Norton Brownsboro Hospital admitted our first COVID-19 Norton Healthcare patient. My co-workers recently have talked about how that time has passed. In many ways it seems hard to believe that it has been one whole year. But it has also seemed an eternity since we could go out…
Norton Healthcare is proud to sponsor a new mural by Louisville artist Jaylin Stewart, located at the corner of 16th Street and West Broadway. “My hope is that it inspires,” Jaylin said. “I hope that families stop to take pictures with it. I hope that kids see their own potential futures here. If it makes…
Elaine Caldwell, R.N., ONC, knew her career calling early in life. “My mom said when I was 6 I told her I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up, so I did!” Elaine said. Elaine has followed her clear career path for nearly 45 years, serving as a nurse at Norton Healthcare. For…
Social distancing fatigue, cabin fever or just simple frustration — call it what you will. Many of us have had enough. Everyone has been doing their part to help flatten the curve by staying healthy at home since mid-March. The novelty has worn off for many, and even introverts are starting to miss socialization! Many…
In James 1:2-3 it says, “…when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.” To find joy in trouble seems an unreasonable request. However, the challenge here is not merely that we be…
When imagining what 2020 might be like, being caught up in a pandemic that is slowing the world down is not a circumstance that made my list of possible events. Unusual times. Scary reality. We are living in imposed circumstances. We did not choose COVID-19; it’s happening to us. If we work hard and use…
Crystal Narcisse, M.D., did not think twice about taking off her new tennis shoes and giving them to the patient in front of her, whose own shoes were falling apart. Rain was pouring on the brisk day in February 2019, and Dr. Narcisse, an internal medicine physician and pediatrician at Norton Community Medical Associates –…
Anne Willis, R.N., smiles as she lightheartedly exclaims she has 12 disciples — longtime members of the lay pastoral care ministry team she has led for seven years as the faith community nurse at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Anchorage, Kentucky. Anne and her “disciples” assist their priest, the Rev. Michael Delk, M.Div., in providing…
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word blessing? Is it the grace said before meals? “We always say the blessing before we eat.” Is it an affirmation or encouragement? “The employee had the blessing of her boss to move ahead on the idea she had.” Or perhaps…
As the last leaves flutter to the ground, and a windy chill becomes the new norm for a while, our journey points us toward Thanksgiving. The history of our late November holiday holds in it a dual theme of hardship and thanksgiving. It is believed that early settlers gathered in their communities to give thanks…
I can remember sunny fall afternoons sitting in algebra II class, looking out the window at the falling leaves, as Mr. Walker droned on and on about the mysteries of “a + b = c.” It was exciting and interesting to him and a few other students, but to most of us, it seemed like…
Has this year flown by for you? Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but this year has come and gone pretty quickly, and now Thanksgiving is upon us.
