Today, we shared a bittersweet moment at Lake City Scranton as we said “see you later” to someone truly extraordinary—our very own living legend, Luenather “Lu” Smith—while celebrating her well-deserved retirement.

It’s impossible to capture 48 years of dedicated healthcare service in a single day, or even in a single story. Over the years, Lu has made an immeasurable impact—not only on the patients she served, but on every colleague and community member fortunate enough to know her. Her commitment, compassion, and unwavering presence have helped shape the heart of our organization.

 

While we will miss her dearly, we are incredibly grateful for the time we’ve shared and the example she has set. Today, and every day, we celebrate her contributions and thank her for nearly five decades of extraordinary service.

 

 

 

Enjoy your retirement, Ms. Lu—you’ve more than earned it. Your Lake City Scranton family loves you very, very much.
