A huge congratulations to our very own Eileen Williams!!!
Dr Zolis, Chief of OB/Gyn at NYGHOBGYH writes:
“I wanted to share the good news that Eileen was nominated for and has been awarded a 2025 Patient Safety Stand Out Award for her hard work and dedication to patient safety on labour and delivery here at NYGH.
Eileen Williams, as many of you know, is a dedicated unit secretary on Labour and Delivery at NYGH for over 30 years. She plays a vital role in ensuring patient safety through her unwavering advocacy. She is often the first point of contact for patients, responding promptly to their needs and facilitating clear, efficient communication across the unit. Her commitment to patient care drives her efforts to ensure timely transitions between departments (labour and delivery and the postpartum unit), always prioritizing safety and coordination.
Please join me in congratulating Eileen! “
Congratulations to you Eileen!! When the news came out the chorus of resounding approval from the department came with it. Here are some of the things our team had to say:
