As a nurse practitioner at Sanford Reproductive Medicine in Fargo, Allison Harrison found herself in the position of working with patients trying to conceive while grieving her own losses. After her third miscarriage, at 11 weeks, Allison was stunned to find out that the company didn’t have a leave policy for pregnancy loss. Through a heartfelt letter to the CEO, Allison was able to create change for parents at Sanford and beyond – and find her family's own happy ending along the way. Alli sat down with Courtney Collen to describe her journey and the impact it's had. Listen to the latest episode of Family Portraits: https://san.fo/3AIsh9z

"When you practice mindfulness meditation regularly, many parts in your brain are activated. That's very helpful to improve emotion regulation and help stress relief, and also help improve memory," says Yufang Tu, volunteer at Good Samaritan Society – Fargo and doctoral student in human development at North Dakota State University. Yufang brings a workshop once a month to the residents teaching them about mindfulness, self-massage and breathing exercises called Qigong. Kimberly Baril, activities supervisor at the community, says she was intrigued by Yufang's pitch for the volunteer workshop and has been impressed after watching how the residents respond to their instructor and the sessions: "Her smile is contagious. She's got a laugh that you can hear from miles away. And anytime you're walking by one of those sessions, you're going hear them laughing together, you're going to see their smiles and it's just a joy being with her and the residents. It's just a lot of fun." Read the full story at: https://san.fo/3z5dBAB

For those who work in hospice care, accompanying an individual during the final chapter of their life is an immense honor. Alisa Losing, a certified nursing assistant and medical aide, is one of those people who chose to take up the role of caring for hospice patients – or, as she would say, the role chose her. Losing grew up in northern Arizona on the Navajo Reservation, and she spent many of her formative years taking care of her family members. She set her heart on working in hospice care and decided to go back to school, eventually becoming a CNA when she moved to South Dakota.
