The Regency team in San Francisco, CA recently had the opportunity to give back to its community, and more particularly, Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley, as a result of unique, unforeseen circumstances. During a local fundraising activation at Persimmon Place, one of Regency’s own employees, Heather Bruce — who was visiting from Regency’s Florida headquarters to assist with the event — was unexpectedly diagnosed with severe Rhabdomyolysis following a muscle injury. The silver lining? The incredible care she received as a patient for five days at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley.
As crazy as the situation was, I couldn’t have asked for a better healthcare experience,” said Heather Bruce, Marketing Project Coordinator. “The Tri-Valley nurses and doctors were incredibly kind and thoughtful with their care. The level of communication, support, and even laughter they provided me during such a scary experience was unmatched, and I’ll be forever grateful. I even hand-wrote each of them thank-you notes at the end of my stay, and still keep in touch with some of them today.
Giving back to Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley during this time has been a perfect example of Regency Centers living out our values by connecting with our local communities,” said Gary Fields, Vice President, Property Operations. “Meeting with some of the Tri-Valley staff for this exchange was incredibly humbling, and rewarding those who are working so hard on the front lines of our community was a no-brainer. I actually used to live right near this hospital, which made this experience that much sweeter for me.
