Day 4 of our tribute to Peter Peitz:

Enter Jan Peitz: Jan has a deep love for helping people. As a registered nurse (RN) she was Director of the Perioperative Services at Baxter Regional Medical Center. Her passion for helping people in their healthcare journey led her to oversee the building of a cancer support center in 1999. She envisioned a safe place for newly diagnosed cancer patients to find resources and answers and support for those undergoing treatment. During the fundraising, Peter quietly became the major donor. (It just so happened that Jan and Peter were dating during this time. Jan never asked Peter to donate funds; imagine her surprise when her hero enabled her vision to come true). Jan served as the first Coordinator of the Peitz Cancer Support House.
So now those who are diagnosed with cancer have a local treatment center and a support house to guide them through a difficult journey.
Tonight's bridge lighting is a Blue and Green which are Jan's favorite colors.

This silky girl's name is Kallie. We cannot figure out why she has not yet found a home - she is such a lovely lady. She is worth the drive to the shelter!

Day 3 of our tribute to Peter Peitz:

Find Solutions to the Area's Challenges: Peter's unrelenting focus on his team's welfare brought another opportunity that benefits thousands of citizens in our area. White River Industries was predominately staffed by women. Peter witnessed these women struggle in their role as caregivers for parents and other family members who were diagnosed with cancer. The closest treatment facility was in Little Rock. The caregivers had to drive their family members each week for treatments. This meant they had to miss work and pay, which eventually led to difficult financial struggles.
Peter and other community-minded people sought a solution. Through fierce determination, the team along with Baxter Regional Medical Center, raised the funds to build a cancer treatment center on the hospital campus. His employee team members now had local access to treatment.
Tonight's bridge lighting is a Multi-color Lighting which represents the many ribbon colors of cancer.
