Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July from our team to yours. Celebrate responsibly and remember that not everyone enjoys fireworks 🧨 🎇

This was my third or fourth time representing the team at the Media 5 mile race! Even though I went solo this year, I was proud to cover one of our team shirts in sweat 😥 while I train for next year’s Narberth run! I’m glad I got to represent not just our team but also Penn in my hometown again!

Finally getting to post some of the professional shots done at the Take A Breather Matt McCloskey Memorial Run. You’ll even see some more shots of our team accepting the prize for being the second highest fundraising team 🏆 We cannot express enough how grateful and appreciative we are to all of the continued support from our donors and participants over the years! 🙏 We are proud to do our part for such an amazing organization! 💟

“Nurses are the heart of health care” ♥️ Happy nurses week to all the health care heroes that are trying to make a difference everyday! 🦸‍♀️ It is such an incredible honor and privilege to work as a nurse, and I am so very grateful to work among such an amazing crew of people who I look up to and admire on a regular basis! Thank you 🙏 to all the nurses out there who have taught me, inspired me, and put up with me when I’m struggling at work. I truly appreciate you all more than you can know! 🌟

Tim day isn’t taking place until July (IYKYK 😝) but in the meantime, we got nurses week to look forward to! 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️

Happy Nurses Week 2026! 💙✨

We’re celebrating the dedication, compassion, and impact of our nurses at Penn Medicine.

The Matt McCloskey Memorial Narberth run is complete, and it was another great outcome for our team helping to support such an amazing cause for the Take A Breather Foundation! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ We are incredibly honored and proud to announce that we came in as the second highest fundraising group! 🎖️ We wanted to take this opportunity to shout out everyone who donated and participated in this year’s run! It’s impossible to put into words how thankful 🙏 and grateful we are for your support! 👊 We truly appreciate you! Take a look at some shots from the run, where we were fortunate enough to avoid the rain just long enough to get our sweat on 😓 and accept our prize! 🏆

Here’s our obligatory pic of the table set up. It’s the calm before the (literal) storm. ☔️
