Violet was nominated for a great catch for her excellent observation and attention to detail. She quickly identified that a patient’s TPN arrived without the appropriate tubing—an issue that could have caused a significant delay in care. Thanks to her prompt communication and advocacy, what could have been a lengthy disruption was reduced to just one hour.

Thank you, Violet, for your vigilance, teamwork, and dedication to ensuring timely, safe patient care. Your actions made a real difference!

Congratulations to 10W on an incredible patient safety milestone! 🎉

For 4 years CAUTI-free and 6 years CLABSI-free, the dedication, vigilance, and teamwork of the 10W staff continue to set the standard for excellence in care. This achievement reflects a strong culture of safety, consistent adherence to best practices, and an unwavering commitment to our patients’ well-being.

Thank you, 10W, for your outstanding work and for showing what’s possible through collaboration and accountability. Here’s to continuing this tradition of excellence!

We are now halfway through the ICU Strong Campaign, and it looks like we have a shakeup in who won overall in December!  Winners for last month are:

I would like to recognize 3 staff members. Who on their day off, selflessly came into to assist with 3 emergent surgical cases. Mark Davis, Heather Malone and Whitney Ashley. They assisted the on-call staff with their dedication to providing the best possible care. 

CVI Leadership Team created a Holiday Photo Box!

We enjoyed Hot Cocoa during our Christmas Spirit Week

Merry Christmas from Martinsville Family and Internal Medicine Clerical Team

With help from the ED staff Jaclyn Pividal and Alison Martin we were able to get a much-needed sedation completed in the PICU so that treatment could start in time for the child to hopefully be able to go home before Christmas. If it wasn't for this teamwork, the patient would have to spend Christmas in the hospital. Aimee Wooldridge, PICU charge nurse helped to coordinate this along with a very busy assignment herself. Thank you to both teams for your collaboration and commitment to provide excellent pediatric care to our patients. 

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and commendation to the Giles Med/Surg Nursing Staff for their exceptional partnership during last week’s Unified Communication Upgrade and Integration.

The implementation of new technology can often be a disruptive process, yet the Giles team handled the transition with remarkable professionalism. They were incredibly patient throughout the testing phases and maintained a positive, "can-do" attitude that was instrumental to our success.

A group of smiling coworkers coming together in matching shirts reflect teamwork, dedication and the heart behind what we do everyday. It's a reminder that great work happens when people support and uplift one another.  Happy Holidays from the SALEM OBGYN Crew!
