Foundation Spotlight- Meet Susan Day, Heritage Society Co-Chair
Our family moved to DeRidder in 1973, when I was 6 years old. DeRidder is a wonderful little community that means so much to me and my family. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.I’ve been married to my husband Ricky for 38 years this September. We have 2 children, Justin, and Abigail (son-in-law, Klint White), and 3 beautiful grandchildren! I have been employed at one of our businesses, DeRidder Truck Parts, as the bookkeeper for the last 25 years.
One thing I enjoy most in life right now is spending time with family and my grandchildren. There’s nothing better! If you know me you know how much I love LSU sports!! I attend as many football, women’s basketball and baseball games as I possibly can!
Beauregard Health System is very important because of the quality health care they provide for me, my family, and this community. The BHS Foundation is vital to our community because it provides private financial support to enhance building and maintaining a superior health care facility. Building a new and improved Emergency Department at BHS will greatly benefit DeRidder and surrounding parishes. The new facility will be able to serve more people and bring in more quality staff for our future. I am proud to be a part of the Foundation Board at Beauregard Health System because it is the next step in promoting good health care. I am also proud to tell people that I am part of the BHS Foundation to encourage others to join this amazing organization that truly looks to the community's needs.
