West Jefferson Cares
West Jefferson Cares involves our frontline staff, leaders, and employees coming together to make a positive impact and bring more magic to healthcare in our Westbank community. Through "West Jefferson Cares," we aim to highlight our efforts to serve the Westbank community by participating in various community events, at senior centers, local nursing homes, and schools.
We are excited to work together on this meaningful initiative and make a difference in our community!
Thank you to our Mentor and Service Excellence Council for their commitment to West Jefferson Cares!
