We’d like to highlight the amazing work that our staff and volunteers are doing at our Sioux Falls facility. They have been working on a great new project, helping patients skill-share with one another.

Spotlight on Facebook of San Diego Facility
In this edition of the Staff Spotlight:
A valuable member of our team at the San Diego facility,
nurse Linda Gilderman
Linda is famous around LFoA for her warmth and care, but also for her humor. Linda makes everyone she comes in contact with laugh and feel comfortable. She has a natural talent for seeing people and understanding the special needs of each individual patient. Oftentimes, patients refer to Linda as their friend rather than their nurse. -

Patient Spotlight! Will F.
We’d like to spotlight a patient who has made a world of difference at our St. Paul, MN facility: Will F.
After a rocky beginning, Will has quickly become a model patient, delighting staff and peers with his musical ability. When he’s not strumming his guitar, Will stays busy as the head of the Star-gazing and Puzzle Clubs.
Thank you Will for all that you do. You Rock!
