A “Hospital Week” poem by Judy L. Clanin, R.N.
TCRHCC Lead Clinical Application Specialist
Perhaps a medication,
Is what your body needs.
Or maybe just a test or two
Will give us healing leads.
2013
National
Here at Tuba City,
You can find a guiding light,
For steering you along the path,
When illness you must fight.
Hospital Week
May 12-18, 2013
Although the times will always change,
On THAT we can agree,
‘Tuba’ as we call it
Will be a sturdy tree.
A tree that shields from burning rays,
Or bends when winds are strong,
It anchors to the deeper roots
To help you get along.
We will not always win the fight,
We carry on each day,
But we can promise to provide,
A light to guide your way.
