Reliability in Action starts with teams like our ICU Nursing Staff.
The ICU Nursing Staff at David Grant Medical Center were recently recognized by the Defense Health Agency with a Reliability in Action certificate for exemplifying the Ready Reliable Care principle of Sensitivity to Operations during an exceptionally demanding shift.
During a high-tempo day that included multiple rapid responses, admissions, discharges, downgrades, and transfers, the team demonstrated outstanding teamwork, vigilance, and professionalism. By remaining mindful of how people, processes, and systems intersect, they ensured safe, efficient, and coordinated patient-centered care under pressure.
The award was presented by Col. Matthew Streitz, 60th Medical Group Deputy Commander. Accepting the recognition on behalf of the ICU team were Capt. Katherine Buluran, Ms. Lynette Montgomery, and Lt. Daniel Gutierrez. Although not all team members were able to attend, the recognition also reflects the exceptional contributions of SSgt. Lexus Wingate, A1C Jenny Perez, A1C Karina Romero, Capt. Kristy Lorenzen, Lt. Michael Gonzalez, and Capt. Jasmine Cairns.
This DHA recognition reflects the culture of reliability, resilience, and excellence our Golden Bear Medics demonstrate every day.
Please join us in congratulating our ICU Nursing Staff for their dedication to the mission and their commitment to Ready Reliable Care.
