May 11, 1981, is a date Beverly Robinson, R.N., at Norton Hospital, still remembers clearly. It was the beginning of a career that would span more than four decades and take her through many different areas of patient care.

Beverly started as a float nurse aide while working toward her nursing degree. After becoming a registered nurse, she continued to grow into new roles, caring for patients in medical/surgical care, postanesthesia care, psychiatric care, endocrinology, preoperative care and radiology.

Each move brought a new chapter. One change, into psychiatric care, also gave Beverly the flexibility she needed to get her son to school, a reminder of how closely work and life can intertwine over a long career.

This summer, Beverly retired after 45 years of service. Across every role and every transition, she built a career defined by adaptability, commitment and care for others.

Thank you, Beverly, for 45 years of dedication to our patients and colleagues. Congratulations on your retirement and the start of this well earned next chapter.

When one patient arrived feeling scared and at an all-time low, Arterrius Livers helped provide the encouragement and support they needed. His kindness, positive energy and welcoming smile made a lasting impact during a difficult chapter of their recovery. As the patient shared, "You impact us more than you may know." They also thanked Arterrius for "always coming onto the unit with a smile and for being a bright spot in my recovery." Through simple but meaningful acts of compassion, Arterrius reminded this patient they were not alone.

🐝 Congratulations, Arterrius, on your well-deserved BEE Award!

A heartwarming commercial with a heart-healthy message but does the science check out? 🥣🤨

We asked a Norton Heart & Vascular Institute cardiologist to react to a Cheerios commercial promoting the cereal as a heart-healthy choice.

His verdict? It’s complicated. The soluble fiber in Cheerios can help lower cholesterol, but what you eat with your breakfast and throughout the day matters too.

Marjorie Buntin, unit coordinator at Norton Audubon Hospital, has spent 50 years building a career around one thing she loves most: helping people.

Her career began as a unit secretary, back when everything was done on paper. When computers were introduced, Marjorie remembers thinking, “Wow, this is the new age!” Instead of being intimidated by the change, she leaned into it. She bought a computer for home so she could keep learning and later helped train colleagues when Norton Audubon Hospital transitioned to the Meditech system.

That willingness to learn and help others has followed Marjorie throughout her career. It also extends beyond the hospital through years of community service with Everyone Reads, Junior Achievement, an elementary school classroom and now Big Brothers Big Sisters.

For Marjorie, the encouragement, inspiration and fun she has found at work are part of what has made Norton Healthcare such a special place to spend 50 years.

Thank you, Marjorie, for a remarkable career of learning, serving and making a difference for our patients, colleagues and community.

Throughout the patient's hospitalization, LaRessa consistently treated him with dignity, respect and genuine compassion. She took the time to listen to concerns, answer questions with patience and clarity, and ensure the family understood every step of the care plan. Her thoughtful approach and remarkable bedside manner helped bring comfort during an overwhelming time, reminding this family they were not facing the journey alone.

For embodying the very spirit of compassionate nursing, LaRessa has been named a DAISY Award winner. 🌼 Congratulations, LaRessa, on this well-deserved recognition!

Tia Mitchell is full of energy. Her laugh fills a room, and her passion for helping other women is contagious. Behind Tia’s bright spirit is a story that started with fear, hesitation and a decision that ultimately saved her life. 💕

After Tia had a lump examined by a doctor, she was immediately scheduled for a mammogram the same day. Further testing led to a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma, Grade 3.

After treatment with Norton Cancer Institute, Tia now is passionate about encouraging other women to stay on top of their breast health and get their mammograms, rather than waiting the way she did.

Angie found her new beginning after living with severe scoliosis. A 2-day spinal surgery with Norton Leatherman Spine ended her decades of pain and got her back to doing things she cares about the most.

Since the third grade, Birge suffered from Severe Scoliosis. Her ribs rested on her hip from a right curve in her lower spine, and her head hung hunched over with a curve in her upper spine.
