Today, staff at Exceptional Community Hospital - Maricopa presented the Maricopa Panty with 1,000 pounds of food and a check for $5,000. Community initiatives like the recent Food Drives that our hospitals are holding show how much our staff care about the well-being of people living in the communities we serve.
Congrats on this great effort. I have an Exceptional Hospital being built down the road from me in Prescott,Az. Do you know when it will be open and what type of services it will provide in the community. Thanks!
The Sunflower Centre, staffed by a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, provides therapies, support, and activities tailored to improve the quality of life for individuals like Alan. The goal is to empower them to live their best lives for as long as possible. For Alan, this meant finding effective strategies to manage his breathlessness and regain his independence.
In Alan's own words, "I can't speak highly enough of the support St Margaret's Hospice has provided me; it's truly been life-changing."

We are in the planning stages for the 14th National Innovative Communities Conference, and we can't wait to see what exciting initiatives are developed based on what those in attendance discuss and learn.
Eleven years ago, the NICC inspired the founders of the city of Jurupa Valley to launch their Healthy City initiative, Healthy Jurupa Valley.
What is Healthy Jurupa Valley?
****
HJV is part of a global movement of healthy city initiatives that work to improve the health and quality of life of all residents. Healthy Jurupa Valley is a public/private partnership between the City of Jurupa Valley and the nonprofit agency Reach Out. The mission is to inspire residents to ignite change, bringing greater health, safety, and quality of life to everyone in the city.
The initiatives we've undertaken in the past decade are far-reaching, and the impacts are broad.
✅ Through the efforts of this initiative, HJV has increased green space, community gardens, and awareness of substance abuse issues and vaccine availability.
✅ We've held leadership academies to empower community members to become leaders and share resources.
✅ We've created "Shop the Walk" events to drive connection between local business and the community, and hosted face-to-face meetings with elected officials to allow them to meet the community members they represent.
Health represents so much more than physical well-being, and the HJV initiative has grown community connection, safety, and well-being in immeasurable ways. We can't wait to bring this program to more Inland Empire cities!

Together, we are sowing seeds of change! We recently hosted faith leaders and community organizations in Springfield for a proactive discussion about how we can join forces to address food insecurity and promote health equity. Watch this short feature on WAND -TV to learn more about the community-focused initiatives in place and how we are taking steps toward a healthier tomorrow. http://spr.ly/6047u5z33
Partnering with local media can be invaluable in raising awareness of hospice funding challenges. It also helps mobilise support from the local community.
Bolton Hospice worked with an Editor to secure a weekly spot in their local newspaper. Each issue shared hospice stories with the public, addressing misconceptions and highlighting the importance of hospice services.
