People living with diabetes are at a greater risk of developing other serious health complications like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and in some cases loss of toes, feet or legs. When diabetes is properly managed, the risk of complications decreases. As November is #DiabetesAwarenessMonth, it's a good time to stop and learn more about diabetes and what you can do to live a healthier life.

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful..." Hebrews 12:28 #FridayScripture #thankfulness

Please join us in congratulating this month’s GEM (Going the Extra Mile) Award winner: 💎 Frances Adelusi, Chaplain in Spiritual Care Chaplain Frances was nominated for going above and beyond to help a patient in their final days. After receiving a request to visit a patient who had been put on comfort measures, Chaplain Frances took the time to listen and understand the patient’s need to connect with their son one more time. After multiple attempts to connect with various family members, Chaplain Frances persevered and arranged a FaceTime call with the patient and their son who was able to arrange a ride to the hospital to be with the patient during their final breath. Chaplain Frances embodies the mission and vision of spiritual care that ‘No One Dies Alone.’ She understood the patient’s desire to see their son before passing—and she never gave up. Congratulations, Chaplain Frances, and thank you for your selfless dedication to our patients! #TeamSAMC #SAMCProud #OurMission #GEMAward #GoingTheExtraMile #Healthcare #Chaplain #Chaplaincy #SpiritualCare #CentralValley
