Congrats Daysha Williams, 8 Mtn PCU on receiving a Daisy Award!
"The patient was determined well enough to visit her baby and Daysha transported the mother to do so. The following day, the patient was unfortunately intubated. Daysha determined a way for the mother to see her baby by asking the other unit to facetime."
Congratulations Sarah Minnick, 7 Mtn PCU on receiving a Daisy Award!
"It was hard for me to convince him he needed to stay, because he is 85 years old and knows everything. However, without the positive reinforcement and gentle coaxing from the nurses and especially Sarah, he would have walked right out of your hospital never receiving the care he needed."
Congratulations to Derrick Agee, 9 Mtn ICU on receiving a Daisy Award!
"It is without a doubt that the quality of care my Father received with Derrick was second to none and I am confident that without Derrick as his nurse during such a traumatic time that my Father's outcome would not be as hopeful as it stands today."
"I cannot thank him enough for his dedication, professionalism, and empathy as an ICU Nurse."
Not only does Brittany do an excellent job keeping the 8th floor CM office exceptionally clean, she turned in my wallet that I left in a 1st floor bathroom when I was changing clothes after a training session! Brittany just happened to be the person to enter the bathroom after I left and not evening knowing it was my wallet, she turned it in to guest services w/ all contents intact. If anyone has ever misplaced or lost their wallet, then you know how stressful this can be!
The OR staff at CFMH received a certificate of recognition from Dr. Baffoe- Bonnie and Suzanne Tyler for their strong work with Hand Hygiene compliance during the month of July. A big thanks to these ladies for making sure their work area is compliant with hand hygiene practices to protect themselves and others.
Congratulations Jason Reed, CA, 6 West, on receiving the BEE Award!
"He connects with every patient and mentioned in leadership rounds daily" "Truly deserving of the BEE award"
Jason exemplifies what it means to "Being Exceptional Everyday"!!!
I just want to say how proud of my EVS staff here at CFMH. They have worked very hard to maintain our facilities during this pandemic era. Most of them have went above and beyond to not only take care of our patients but our staff as well. Long hours and dedication has been the norm and we have kept a steady workforce in house. As a supervisor I can only say THANK YOU for your dedication to make our facilities clean. God bless you all.
The Carilion Clinic Honorary #25 Health Care Heroes recognition is inspired by the #25 jersey awarded each week to a Virginia Tech Hokies football player who is a special teams standout. Current Virginia Tech football head coach Justin Fuente began the tradition before the 2016 season.
