How do you seamlessly open a brand-new hospital? Through the hard work, dedication and collaboration of hundreds of team members.
That includes the patient transportation team. Here's what it took for them to help launch the opening of the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion:
The night before the opening, the midnight shift collected a total of 59 stretchers and got them ready. During the move, as soon as a patient was transported and settled into their new Pavilion bed, the team promptly disinfected the stretchers and brought them back for another round.
Entrance Services Supervisor Ryan Hachey was the lead on the project and did an incredible job.
Thank you to the following team members, shown with Michigan Medicine CEO David Miller: Richard Keller, Israel Getachew, Wageh Wadi, Greg Whiten, Jessica Woodall, Angel Hester, Sydni Parran, Mary Ann Sprecher, Haneen Mohammad, and Hassane Conde.
Amazing job, patient transportation team!
