Congratulations to our own Dr. Ellen Harvey for being recognized by ANCC Magnet as Nurse of the Year for 2021 in Empirical Outcomes. On November 12, Dr. Harvey accepted this honor at the 2021 ANCC Magnet Conference in Atlanta, GA. Ellen was recognized for her (and her teams) work on developing an evidence-based protocol to reduce the rate of infection for patients with external ventricular drains (EVD). Use of the evidence-based care bundle has reduced EVD related infections to zero! Kudo's to Ellen and her team!!!

2021 ANCC Magnet News Release:

If you’ve walked alongside the Riverwalk Parking Garage at CRMH recently, you may have noticed a new bench! The bench was obtained through 8 Mountain ICU’s participation in the Trex Soft Plastics Recycling program. The unit worked together to collect 500 pounds of soft plastics (supply packaging, bed covers, etc.) that was then recycled.

CFM Wytheville Clinic Manager, Brittney Meek and Lead Physician, Dr William Tomiak would like to recognize our staff for their hard work and dedication! The past 18 months has been a struggle to say the least, but, Team Wytheville has exemplified the value of courage and commitment. They have worked very hard to get our patients back in the office for face-to-face visits safely while also seeing the sick. They have also taken great pride in making brighter days ahead with their creative and artistic abilities.

Ashley Hodges psychiatric tech provides the utmost excellent care for the children on the child and adolescent psychiatric unit. she conducts fun groups while setting clear boundaries and the children care about her.She is caring and a great co worker. She also is a preceptor to new hires. Thank you Ashley for your commitment to our patients!

For nurse practitioner appreciation week, Fort Defiance Family Medicine celebrated our FNP, Samuel Arnold. Sam has been at our clinic for about 7 years. He is so fun to work with and brings the best energy to the clinic. To show our appreciation, we gifted our NP/Fisherman a tumbler that says "Reel Great NP" with a fishing pole and fish included and a thank you card with kind words from all of the staff.

Thank you for all you do, Sam! 

Katrina Cranney in the warehouse is amazing! She has been nothing but super helpful every time I have called with ordering questions. I always feel relieved when I get to speak with her because I know she will do a great job helping me with whatever need I may have. Thank you for all your help!!!

Thank you to all who participated in the 2021 Virgin Pulse corporate-wide steps challenge, “Fall into Fitness!” 

We had 972 employees participate in the challenge. The total number of steps achieved was over 132 million and each participant averaged over 9,000 daily steps during the course of the two-week challenge. What a great achievement!

Great job maintaining a healthy focus as we prepare to start a new year!

Our own Chris Allen of Interventional Radiology has been honored by the Virginia Academy of Physician Assistants as the Preceptor of the Year. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever had the pleasure of working with Chris. He is an outstanding provider and an amazing example to future PAs. We are lucky to have him on our team!
