While some may think concussions aren’t serious, they are actually a mild form of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

3 things you should know about concussions

1. They happen more often than you think.
Concussions can happen from blows to the head during sports activities or accidents, or may result from simple mishaps, like walking into a door and banging your head.

2. Symptoms aren’t always obvious.
Common symptoms can be easy to spot – headaches, dizziness, nausea, and hearing or vision problems. Less common symptoms are harder – sleep difficulties, depression, anxiety, and slower-than-normal reaction time.

3. Screen time, alcohol, and caffeine all impact recovery.
Avoid screen time in the first 48 hours of recovery. Limit both caffeine and alcohol consumption during recovery.

“Knowing that I can help ease patients’ burdens so they can focus on getting well is very rewarding. I became a social worker to make a difference and help people in need.”

Meet Amy Banks, MSW, care manager at Northern Light Mayo Hospital and social worker at Northern Light CA Dean and Sebasticook Valley Hospitals, one of our featured social workers for Social Work Awareness Month.

“We think broadly, looking at all aspects of patient care and how all of those things fit together (or don’t fit) to gain the best outcome for every patient. As creative, outside-the-box thinkers, we can see things differently, which helps our patients.”

For Social Work Awareness Month, we celebrate the unique, integral role medical social workers play within our healthcare system.

Medical social workers help navigate, and co-coordinate patient-centered care plans; advocate; educate about available treatment options, resources, and services; and provide support during crises.

For hospice patients, social workers ensure end-of-life goals are respected; provide advanced care planning; emotional and psychological support; connect families with community resources; and offer caregiver support.

💙 We honor and recognize your compassion, professionalism, and dedication to patient care - thank you! 💙

Featured are some of our incredible social workers!

Healthcare in Greenville and Piscataquis County has changed over the years, but one constant has been Linda Gilbert, outgoing chair of the Board of Trustees. As Linda completes her final term, we recognize her for 24 years of steady leadership, service, and passion for our mission—during a pandemic, through the new hospital building project to secure healthcare for future generations, when the CA Dean and Mayo Hospital boards combined to create a single, strong board for our region, and so much more.

Patient safety starts with the people who show up every day and do the little things—and that goes beyond taking vital signs and recording medical histories.

We’re proud to celebrate Ashley Simko, a medical assistant who was recently honored with a Patient Safety Award for going above and beyond for a patient. During a routine visit, Ashley realized that a patient did not have active smoke detectors in the home, and she took decisive steps to remedy the situation.

Patient safety is built on the everyday actions that keep patients safe. Thank you, Ashley, for making a difference!

Our partners at Northern Light Mayo Hospital recently launched a program for new mothers. When they are discharged from the hospital, each mom is given an orange “Post-Birth Alert” band to wear for at least six weeks.

The band lets EMS, Emergency Department, and other healthcare staff know that a patient is postpartum, alerting those teams to consider pregnancy-related issues, even if the patient is unconscious or unable to communicate. Teams can gear their assessments toward the highest risk diagnoses in this population, which includes hemorrhaging, blood clots, infection, perinatal depression, and substance use disorder. Statistics show that postpartum patients are at highest risk for these kinds of issues within the first six weeks of delivery.

This orange band program is offered at many hospitals across the country in an effort to combat high rates of preventable maternal deaths. It is particularly important in rural areas like ours.
