🌍 Celebrating International Nurses at CESI!

Twice a year, Hartford HealthCare’s Center for Education Simulation and Innovation (CESI) welcomes newly hired international nurses with an immersive program designed to support their transition into U.S. clinical practice.

Through hands-on training, high-fidelity simulations, and structured debriefing, nurses build confidence, refine critical thinking, and strengthen essential skills for safe, high-quality patient care.

This initiative reflects our commitment to education, diversity, and excellence—empowering nurses and improving patient outcomes across our system. 💙

🎉 Congratulations to the 2025 Clinical Support Team of the Year! 🎉

One of our team members, Robert Lundy was apart of The Postpartum Orange Bracelet Program, which informs providers of the unique needs that women face after giving birth. The bracelet identifies patients who have recently given birth so every clinician, tech, and support staff member is aware that they are at an elevated risk for postpartum complications and also helps prevent misdiagnoses based on those symptoms.

The program rollout began here at Hartford Hospital before continuing to the rest of the Hartford HealthCare system. Rob’s role is to support education in regards to the program by creating an interactive learning module for clinical and support staff.
