🐻 Thank you, Bear Bear! 🧡

A heartfelt thank-you to Bear Bear for hosting our Benevolent Day on Oct. 21 and to everyone who joined us and helped make the day a success.

From delicious food to great company, it was a wonderful celebration of community and a shared commitment to local healthcare. A shout out to Erin and her team for the excellent service!

Funds raised support the purchase of a new 3D mammography system for Cascade Medical in 2027 through the "Give Her 5 Seconds" campaign. This new technology will provide faster, clearer and more comfortable mammograms for our community.

We did it!

Together, our community raised $125,000 for new equipment in Cascade Medical's Endoscopy Suite, and the equipment is on its way.

Here's what your generosity is bringing to Leavenworth:
✔️ A new endoscope for upper endoscopies
✔️ Two new colonoscopes in different sizes
✔️ An ultra-high-definition monitor and video system for greater accuracy
✔️ A big-wheel stretcher for a smoother ride between pre-op, the procedure room and recovery

"Endoscopy and colonoscopy play a key role in detecting and preventing gastrointestinal diseases, including cancer," said Natasha Piestrup, Cascade Medical's Senior Director of Nursing. "In rural areas, offering these services locally is especially important, as patients often face long travel distances to larger hospitals."

To everyone who gave, sponsored, teed off at the golf tournament, danced the night away at Jive Time or dined out during a Benevolent Event: thank you. Because of you, more of our neighbors can get quality care close to home.

Congratulations, Diane, for such well-deserved recognition. A champion, indeed! Thank you so much for all that you do!

A True Boss Lady 💗
This photo was taken during a photoshoot for our annual report. Diane would much rather shine the spotlight on our team than have it on herself. But today, we're making an exception. And it turns out, CEOs across Washington have something to say about her, too!

We all want to feel supported, trusted and able to grow in our work. At Cascade, Diane and our senior leaders create that kind of environment while keeping our patients at the center of every decision.

We were going to celebrate Diane for Boss’s Day regardless, but winning this award gave us another pretty great reason to celebrate. Diane was named the WSHA 2026 Joe Hopkins Award winner!

The award recognizes leaders who work to expand access to rural health care and champion rural hospitals. Under Diane’s leadership, Cascade has expanded access through our mobile health van and Mobile Integrated Health program, while she continues to advocate for rural health care across Washington and in Washington, D.C.

We’re so proud of her and the impact she’s making, both here at Cascade and across our state.

And if you know Diane, you know she’s one of the kindest humans around. We're pretty lucky to have her leading our team. 💗

Think Pink! 💗

This October, the Cascade Medical Foundation board gave $5,000 to Cascade Medical's Think Pink Fund. It covers mammograms for women who are uninsured, so cost is never the reason someone skips her yearly screening.

Screening every year is how breast cancer gets caught early, and caught early it is usually very treatable.

If you've been putting off your mammogram because of cost, please call Cascade Medical. You may qualify for a free screening.

Thank you to Cascade Medical's imaging team for the exceptional care they give our community every day.

A fun way to show support for a great cause! Keep thinking pink!

Think Pink Team Spirit 💗

Proof that you can do meaningful work and have a little fun along the way!

This isn’t the whole team, since many of our staff were busy taking care of patients, but it’s a pretty great snapshot of the team spirit at Cascade.

And since we’re showing off our team, we might as well mention we’re hiring! If you’d like to be part of a team that makes a difference and enjoys working together, check out our open positions in the comments.

Think Pink. Early is Everything.
Encourage someone you love to schedule their mammogram!
