At St. Vincent Healthcare our employees offer wonderful compassionate care for our patients and their families in the spirit of our mission to raise up every individual, especially the poor or vulnerable. One of St. Vincent Healthcare’s Nelles Nurse Scholarship recipients, Dana Barnes , who is an RN in the Orthopedic Care Unit, found his family in need of assistance last fall. Dana’s lovely third child Samantha was born with a heart defect and required surgery in Denver. Thanks to fellow employees who contribute to the Employee Crisis Fund through the SVH Annual Share Our Sprit Campaign, Dana and his family could focus on Samantha’s surgery and recovery with less financial worry. Dana, his wife Mandy, daughter Charlee, son Tyler and baby Samantha are doing very well and greatly appreciate the many prayers and blessings they received.
“Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support for our family. Sam’s surgery went better than we thought possible. All glory be to God! She has amazed so many by her strength. We know her surgery and all the events around it would have been much harder without you. We pray that the Lord blesses you beyond measure the way you have blessed us.” With love, Dana, Mandy, Charlee, Tyler and Samantha.
