Thank you to everyone who took part in this past weekend’s Relay for Life of the Delta! Together, we helped raise more than $41,000 to advance the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

Relay For Life celebrates survivors, honors caregivers, remembers loved ones lost, and raises funds to ensure everyone can have the chance to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

A special shout-out to Jamie Rackley, Epic Care’s team captain and event lead, along with the rest of our dedicated Epic Care team members, family, and friends who gave their time, energy, and heart to this meaningful cause! 💜

Today, we celebrate the many faces of fatherhood:

Today, we celebrate the many faces of fatherhood: the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who all provide strength, love, and steady support in their own unique ways. We also recognize that this day can evoke a range of emotions, and whatever you’re feeling today is valid.

Father’s Day is an opportunity to honor the quiet acts, everyday sacrifices, and lasting impact of those who have helped shape our lives. No matter how this day finds you, we hope it brings gratitude and connection. Happy Father’s Day!
