Congratulations to Heidi, who is celebrating her sixth anniversary! 🎉🎉 Heidi aspired to work in senior living long before joining Edgewood and CaringEdge. “I have always had a special place in my heart for older adults. I spent 13 years working in skilled nursing facilities as an occupational therapy assistant, director of therapy, and regional director. In 2018, when I saw a new therapy department opening in the Spearfish community, I knew this was my calling to join the CaringEdge team, and I've been with them ever since! I began in October 2018 as a director of therapy and helped establish the Spearfish CaringEdge department. In 2023, I was promoted to the regional director of outpatient therapy. I absolutely love CaringEdge and Edgewood! Their mission and love for the residents and staff alike is like no other I've ever been a part of!” When she’s away from CaringEdge, you can find Heidi working at a cattle and sheep ranch. During her spare time, she does everything ranch-related with her husband and 3 wonderful kids. If there's any free time beyond that, you can find her crafting, doing home remodeling projects, or any activity in the great outdoors. Congratulations, Heidi, on your six-year anniversary! We're grateful for all of your hard work and dedication! 🙌👏

During Spiritual Care Week, we extend our deepest gratitude to our hospice chaplains. They provide comfort and spiritual guidance during life’s most difficult times. Supporting patients and their families, our chaplains bring a unique blend of empathy, faith, and understanding to those experiencing the complexities of terminal illness. Whether through prayer, quiet listening, or simply being there when words are hard to find, chaplains offer a safe, calming space for reflection, peace, and connection.🙌❤️
