Congratulations to Becky Davis (RN, Observation), our most recent #DaisyAward winner! "Becky is the kind of nurse that everybody wants to take care of them. She loves her CNAs, loves her job, and is extraordinary. Even on very busy days, she always lifts our spirits!"

On Tuesday, we celebrated the "Topping Out" of our #NICU steel construction! The topping out is when the last beam is placed to create the new structure. Thanks to everyone who took the time to sign the final beam and to witness the momentous occasion with us! #NICUstrong

We are thrilled to welcome our new Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Toni Green-Cheatwood! She will lead our ongoing efforts supporting clinical excellence and delivering superior patient and provider experiences. Please welcome her if you see her on our campus! dailycamera.com/2021/08/17/goo…

Before we placed the final steel beam for the structure of our new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (#NICU), our teams were invited to sign the beam to be part of the historic event! We are so excited these beautiful messages will be a permanent part of the #newNICU. #NICUStrong

Congrats to our recent #DAISYAward recipient, Tenzin Dolkar (RN - Telemetry)! "Tenzin stayed more than an hour after her shift was over & never left my wife's side. I never saw her look at the clock or say 'I need to leave, my shift is over.' Her compassion was heartwarming."
