Babies 'graduate’ from Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital NICU
Take a look at the cutest graduation, ever! Recently, Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital welcomed back their tiniest patients and honored them with a graduation ceremony to celebrate the new neonatal intensive care unit that helps keep Lodi babies close to home. Congratulations to these young graduates and their families!

San Gabriel Academy Students Build a Playground
More than 30 years ago, San Gabriel Academy began their legacy of service. This year, over 30 students together with their teachers traveled to Hilo, Hawaii, to build an interactive playground for the Mauna Loa Preschool. Leveling ground, pouring cement, installing equipment, painting, and
leading out in church were some of the ways this dedicated group served. As always, SGA’s volunteers felt as though it was they who received the biggest blessing. As volunteer Jasmine Campos described, "Not only did we meet wonderful people, but we left with such a sense of accomplishment, knowing we had helped others and served God."

Love. Serve. Lead.

P.S. Did You Know? Nearly one in 10 babies are born premature—and 30 years ago, less than 25 percent of preemies survived. Now, almost 90 percent of preemies survive, including infants born as early as 24 weeks. -CafeMom.com
