🌟🐾 November Employee of the Month: EMILY! 🐾🌟
This month, we switched things up a little with our Employee of the Month recognition! Rather than focusing on one specific core value, we asked our team to recognize someone who exemplifies being a PROBLEM SOLVER! 💡

Each team member was given one nomination and asked to share an example of someone who tackles challenges, finds solutions, and helps keep our hospital running smoothly.
And this month's Employee of the Month is... Emily! 🎉💙
🔹 Finding Solutions, Big and Small
From managing schedules and time-off requests to helping navigate challenging client situations, Emily is often the person our team turns to when something needs to be figured out.
Whether it's answering questions about our software, helping coworkers work through an unexpected situation, or untangling a scheduling hiccup, she's always willing to help find a solution. 🧩
🔹 What Her Teammates Had to Say
Rather than trying to write about herself, we thought it would be much more meaningful to share some of the actual nominations from her coworkers:
💬 "There are so many problems that she solves daily. Schedule, time off, phone calls with a client, always can come to her and ask for help."
💬 "Always helping me with Shepherd questions or adding in codes."
💬 "Always helping me solve problems when I panic!"
💬 "You took care of and PROBLEM SOLVED the new client scheduling kerfuffle with grace! Thank you!"
🔹 The Heart of TeamWORKS
Being a problem solver isn't always about having all the answers. Sometimes it's about listening, working through a challenge together, and finding a way forward.
Having someone the team feels comfortable turning to for help is an important part of what makes SRAH work, and this month's nominations are a wonderful reflection of that trust. 🤝💙

Congratulations to Emily, our November Employee of the Month! 🌟🐾

How is it already November?!? The SRAH staff is set up and ready for our annual "Generous Hands for Rescued Paws" food drive. If you've nevr participated in our food drive, please read the details below. For those who have participated, we thank you for your continued support!!

The "Generous Hands for Rescued Paws" food drive will kick off today and will continue through November 30th. During this time SRAH will be accepting human food donations for the Generous Hands backpack program (please see the list of acceptable foods for donation below). Generous Hands uses this food to stuff backpacks for kids in our community who need a little extra something to get them through weekends, etc. These items should not require refrigeration or the use of a stove.

We weigh each and every human food donation that comes in and at the end of the month we calculate our grand total. SRAH then donates pound for pound that amount of cat/dog food to the Comstock Community Center for senior citizens and their "pet meals on wheels" program.

So by donating human food you are doubling down and helping not only our communities children but our senior citizens as well!!
We will accept the human food from the following list (or anything that doesn't require stove or fridge use). If you don't have time to shop yourself, we also accept cash donations and we will do the shopping for you! Follow our page for updates on donation totals. Thanks to Generous Hands, Comstock Community Center and Pet Supplies Plus for helping us continue this annual food drive event!!

HUMAN FOOD DONATION LIST:
Granola Bars
Instant Oatmeal Packs
Macaroni & Cheese (microwavable please)
Applesauce or Fruit Cups
Microwave Popcorn
Small packs of Peanuts or Fruit Snacks
Plastic containers of Peanut Butter or Jelly
Crackers
