Discovering Support, Growth, and Purpose

By: Suzanne Hedrick

We’re excited to share a special story from one of our own team members, Suzanne Hedrick. After spending over three decades in a previous role, Suzanne made the leap to join Pillars of Wellness just over two years ago. In this blog, she reflects on her journey, what it’s been like to find a true work family, and why Pillars has been such a life-changing experience for her.

I joined Pillars of Wellness just a little over two years ago, and let me tell you it has been life-changing! Before coming here, I worked at the same job for 32 years, and honestly, it was tough. I carried so much stress, and towards the end I never felt like I had the support I needed. Making the decision to leave was scary, but looking back now, it was absolutely the BEST decision I could have ever made.

From day one at Pillars, I felt something different, something special. This isn’t just a workplace, it’s a family. I can feel the support flowing from every direction: my coworkers, the directors, and everyone in between. No matter what comes up in my day, I know I’m not handling it alone. We truly work together as a team, and that teamwork makes all the difference in fulfilling our purpose.

And can I just say – I LOVE my job! I LOVE Pillars! The heart of this company is incredible. Every single person here cares so deeply, not only for our clients but for each other and our whole community. You can feel it in the way the admin team works tirelessly, in how the therapists pour themselves into their clients, and in the leadership’s constant commitment to making sure staff are supported. It’s not just words—they really show it in everything they do.

I’ve never seen a company that cares about its employees the way Pillars does. They value us as people, not just workers. And because of that, there’s this ripple effect you can feel the love and care from the top all the way down to the client level. It’s such a beautiful thing to be part of, knowing our efforts contribute to a larger purpose.

After 32 years somewhere else, I didn’t even realize a workplace like this could exist. Pillars is truly amazing. It is hands down, the BEST place I’ve ever worked. Every morning, I wake up excited to be part of this mission and this team. And that, to me, is priceless.

Stop looking, your work home is right here at Pillars of Wellness! Come be part of the BEST team ever and see why we all LOVE what we do!
