🌟 Charting the Course to Nursing Service Excellence 🌟

Every month, our dedicated nurse educators come together to create dynamic, hands‑on learning environments for new employees in our Nursing Service.

This collaborative effort reflects our commitment to excellence, teamwork, and professional growth. By investing in immersive education, our educators are shaping the future of nursing and setting the standard for compassionate, high‑quality care.

💙 We are proud to celebrate these amazing educators who inspire, guide, and chart the course to Nursing Service Excellence.

✨ Holiday Magic Through Compassionate Care ✨

For the third year in a row, our incredible peri‑operative nurses and providers have come together to make the holidays brighter for children in need. Coordinated by Jacquelyn Dodson in the OR and supported by PACU through a partnership with HIS Ministries in Santa Fe, TX, this initiative has touched the lives of more than 110 underprivileged kids in our community.

From Pre‑Op and OR to PACU, GI, and even our Envision Anesthesia providers, the entire LCC PeriOp Council has joined forces to fulfill each child’s wish list and bring joy where it’s needed most. Their compassion, creativity, and dedication remind us that healthcare is not only about healing—it’s also about giving hope.

💙 Thank you to our nurses and providers for turning teamwork into holiday magic
