Sully exemplifies so many types of bravery.
"We will be courageous together." Today, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger publicly shared his Alzheimer's diagnosis for the first time. Reflecting on this new chapter, he said it has challenged what it means to be of service, adding, "The answer is to speak up." We're deeply grateful to Captain Sully and his family for sharing their story with such honesty and hope. By choosing to share his experience, Sully is helping reduce stigma, encouraging important conversations and reminding others that they are not alone. If you are facing Alzheimer’s, know that support, information and resources are available. 💜 #ENDALZ people.com/captain-sully-mir…

Wondering about what it's like working at Friendship Haven? Kiley O'Leary tells us about a new role called the Health Center Resource Nurse - a great opportunity for someone looking to grow in nursing but not quite ready for a leadership role. No on call! friendshiphaven.org/job-list…

Our community went years without fireworks. Last year, we brought them back. And we're doing it again. #Havenpalooza * Friday, June 19, 2026 (music by headliner Jared Benson Music)
