Special shoutout to @KCStar and @eleanorcnash for their insightful coverage of healthcare in #KansasCity!

We did it again! 🎉 For 12 consecutive designations, Providence Medical Center has earned an "A" Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group. This exceptional recognition is a testament to our commitment to patient safety and high-quality care. kansascity.com/news/business/…

We continue to hear wonderful stories about how our all our staff, nurses, physicians, & leaders came together to make a difference during last week’s snowstorm. Thank you to ICU Director Wendy, and our Director of Nursing Patty, for steering the course and to all! #Teamwork

#Hypothermia and #frostbite can happen when prolonged exposure to cold causes the body to lose heat faster than it can produce it. Protect yourself when temperatures drop by taking steps to prevent hypothermia and frostbite: bit.ly/41JEdmV

What a wonderful season and what a wonderful team. We had an absolute blast celebrating the holiday season alongside our staff, volunteers, and physicians. Their festive spirit and energy are what make them special for each other and our patients. #holidayspirit #happyholidays

Today, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the Veterans who have served our country. We also want to give a special shoutout to our incredible staff, physicians, and volunteers who are active military, in the Reserves, or are Veterans. #ExpertCareClosetoHome

Recent WOW Award recipient, ICU Nurse Nicole Huber, was nominated by Dr. Mike Thompson, who stated that Nicole appropriately tailored end-of-life care in respect to a patient’s condition while keeping their family in mind as they struggled with the loss of a family member. #WOW

Logan Wedel, MD, a physician in our Emergency Room is our recent WOW winner. From saving a very young patient, to being a helpful team player, to consoling a wife on the passing of a loved one, Dr. Wedel is one of a kind. #ExpertCareClosetoHome #inPrimeHealth

October has been a “spooktacular” month at Providence. Who says grownups can’t have fun? During National Infection Prevention Week several fun, “spooky” employee activities were held, emphasizing infection prevention measures. Happy Halloween! #ExpertCareClosetoHome

Willie West is a recent WOW winner. He was nominated by ICU staff who said he always does an amazing job. Recently, staff witnessed him clean a room that needed a lot of attention, and he did so without complaint. #ExpertCareClosetoHome #inPrimeHealth

Lab Phlebotomist, Stella Ramos, knows her job and when our patients need her, she will be there. Our recent WOW winner was responding to a code blue, and she jumped right in to help with chest compressions for a patient. #ExpertCareClosetoHome

Having joint replacement surgery? We have an amazing team that will make sure you are well prepared. #ExpertCareClosetoHome tinyurl.com/3yr6krwa

We were excited to bring Gregg Morris, our Wound Care Center Director, out to the Lions Club of Leavenworth for a presentation on the "Complications of Diabetes" this past week. What a great group and what a great connection. #ExpertCareClosetoHome

It is almost time for some touchdowns, KC! We kicked off our Chiefs Tailgate party today with our brand-new outdoor grill, and it was a blast! So grateful for our beautiful outdoor space, our rockstar team, and of course, our MVP patients who make it all possible. #ChiefsKingdom

Recent “Great Catch” recognition goes to Lacey Conant who is an occupational therapist. She recently was working with a patient & noticed the patient was experiencing stroke symptoms. She acted F.A.S.T, and the patient was taken to our Emergency Department for treatment.

Expectant mom Lindsay Brown-Grebner and her family are thankful that when she needed emergent care for the delivery of her baby, Kannon Paul, that Providence was close by. #ExpertCareClosetoHome #inPrimeHealthcare ow.ly/Uy0v50QHTQF

Our “Don’t Crash Cart” visited some very special nurses recently. We are so fortunate to have these kind and very experienced labor and delivery and nursery nurses serving moms and babies in our Women’s and Infant Services department. #ExpertCareClosetoHome #inPrimeHealth

As we wake up and pause today we want to express our deep sympathy and support for those impacted by yesterday‘s tragedy in Kansas City. Thankful for healthcare heroes & law enforcement! We encourage all to donate blood. @RedCross @CommBloodCtrKC
