Last week, Ferrell Hospital celebrated our first-ever Safety Week, and it was a huge success! Our theme this year was Superheroes, and our staff embraced it in every way. 💙
We kicked off the week with Superhero Safety Bingo—congratulations to our winners, Starla Barton and Kathy Hughes from Surgery! Employees also signed our Commitment to Patient Safety banners and attended our Safety Fair.
The Safety Fair featured hands-on training and education covering:
Fire & tornado response plans
Rapid Response
Speak-Up
Decontamination
Infection Prevention
Fall Prevention
Patient Rights..and more!
We also held a department poster contest—congratulations to our winning team, the Emergency Department! Additional participation awards will be given for both individuals and departments.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make our inaugural Safety Week a success. Continuous learning keeps our patients safe, keeps our teams strong, and keeps us moving forward! 🦸♀️🦸♂️
