Congratulations to CRBH Med-surg CLABSI free for 9 years and ICU for 2 years CLABSI free. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to excellent patient care.
For the last two years 9 west created an Easter Egg Hunt. Plastic eggs were filled with candy and this year a few had a prize claim ticket in them. Katrina Leonard RN Operations Manager has taken this on and leaves a bag of eggs for the shifts to hide for the oncoming shift.

Thank you for allowing me to pour into you the "Art of Nursing" and showcase your commitment to "Nursing Excellence".

The recent Management Team Meeting began with a celebration of Dr. Ben Lewis. Dr. Lewis has dedicated many years as a lead physician and regional medical director in the southern region of Family and Community Medicine. Although he is stepping down from his regional leadership role, Dr. Lewis will continue to provide excellent care to his patients in Martinsville. The team had fun wearing the "uniform" of a white dress shirt and khakis that Dr. Lewis often wears, and they had plenty of great stories to share!
