This week, we’re celebrating National Rural Health Clinic Week by honoring the selfless, community-minded, and determined medical providers who bring quality healthcare to the most rural areas of Tulare County. These incredible professionals work tirelessly in Lindsay, Exeter, Woodlake, Dinuba, and Tulare, providing everything from primary care to specialty services to ensure rural residents receive the preventive care they need to stay healthy year-round. Today, our Kaweah Health Pet Therapy team visited the Kaweah Health Exeter clinic to join in on the celebration. With wagging tails, gentle snuggles, and lots of smiles, our furry friends spread joy and reminded everyone how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Help us thank our rural health clinic teams for their dedication and give a big shoutout to our amazing therapy pets for brightening hearts and lifting spirits. ???? Stay tuned, our celebrations have only just begun, and there’s more fun on the way! #RHCWeek #KaweahHealth #PowerOfRural #NationalRuralHealthDay

For our littlest of patients, the journey home is an emotional and momentous milestone. After weeks, sometimes months, of care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), homecoming day brings a sense of joy, relief, and renewed hope. To celebrate this special occasion, we’ve created a Homecoming Day banner where families can capture the moment their little ones are finally headed home. The Seechan family recently shared their experience with us, and we are beyond grateful for their kind words. They said: “Our experience with a NICU baby has been challenging at times, but the team at Kaweah Health has been there for us. They have the best nurses and doctors a parent could ask for, and their care is top-notch. Having had two babies cared for by Kaweah Health’s NICU team, we could never thank them enough for their hard work and dedication to these babies. Thank you, Kaweah Health NICU!!!” This testimonial reflects the dedication and expertise of our NICU team, who provide the highest level of care to our most vulnerable patients. These milestones would not be possible without their unwavering commitment, compassion, and support. To the Seechan family, and to all our NICU families, we celebrate each of you and are honored to have been a part of your journey. #HomecomingDay #nicubaby #KaweahHealth #care
