BEE Award for Excellence | Congratulations to Saprina Batts, Patient Care Tech, on the 3 North Surgical unit! Just as the DAISY cannot survive without the BEE, nurses cannot survive without the outstanding teamwork provided by other healthcare professionals. Saprina was nominated by numerous patients, loved ones and staff for her warm smile and caring demeanor: 🐝 “Not only did Saprina take exceptional care of my mom on her first stay after surgery, but she also did when she had to be readmitted a second time. Saprina is always full of grace and treated my mom the way she would want her own family treated. She was a blessing!” 🐝 “She’s very attentive and extremely understanding. She has gone above and beyond with everything she does with a smile!” 🐝 “Saprina is so special. She is very warm and wonderful at lifting spirits when needed.” Saprina, thank you for everything you do each day to support our staff and community!

Did you know the most common cause of preventable trauma death in the US is uncontrolled bleeding? The STOP THE BLEED® program teaches basic life-saving medical interventions. As the region’s only Level I trauma center, our team is active in the community, leading classes to empower individuals to act quickly and effectively to control bleeding and potentially save lives.

Today, our senior leadership team had the opportunity to "Walk in Your World" - a day spent shadowing staff in departments across our hospital to experience firsthand the dedication and compassion our caregivers bring to every patient, every day. This event allows our leaders to better understand our caregivers’ roles and identify opportunities in which to support them as they care for our patients. Our team visited Trauma ICU, Special Procedures Unit (SPU), 5 Heart & Vascular, Inpatient Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Mother/Baby, Labor & Delivery, Imaging, and our Children’s Hospital emergency department and OR. We are exceptionally proud of our team and the care they provide, going above and beyond to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
