Fall 2022/Sarah Hicks When my husband and I were first married, we visited Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. He had traveled there as a bachelor just one year before, so as we arrived, he tried to prepare me for the fifteen-mile hike we were about to take.

Angela has been interviewed by everyone from...

But when they put on their uniform or start their day, they are changing and saving lives. And as much as we need and appreciate all of these hard workers, many of us often associate their jobs with the most challenging days. Seeing patients struggle or watching a family lose their home to a natural disaster cannot be easy to experience day after day. So right now, we’re...
