CONGRATULATIONS, ERICA! 🎉

​We are beyond proud to announce that our very own Erica Wilson from Medical Records has been honored with the Trinity Health "Full of Heart" Award!
​While Erica’s official title places her in the meticulous world of Medical Records, her true impact on our community is measured in the smiles, laughter, and sense of belonging she fosters every single day.
​Behind the scenes, Erica is a creative powerhouse and a tireless advocate for resident and staff morale. From pouring her soul into holiday parties and appreciation days to hand-crafting beautiful decorations that brighten our halls, she is the quiet engine of joy in our building.
​Erica reminds us all that the "heart" of healthcare isn't just in clinical care, but in the moments of personal connection and celebration.
​Please join us in the comments below in thanking Erica for everything she does and congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition.
