Since 2000, our team members have been partnering with BayCare Behavioral Health for the annual Holiday Giving Tree Project. Through the program our teams and team members provide presents for children who are pediatric behavioral health patients and their siblings. This year, our team members helped brighten the season for 166 children with team members from St. Anthony's Hospital joining us by adopting 16 of those.

Team members enjoyed a special treat when hospital leadership provided a delicious brunch to celebrate the holidays. Leaders had the privilege of serving team members to show appreciation for all they do each day to ensure our patients receive excellent care. We are grateful for the dedication of our Food and Nutrition Services team members who worked extra hours to prepare and help serve all the meals.

Congratulations to ER physician Jasmin Nuesa, MD, on being selected as our most recent Physician of the Quarter.

Dr. Nuesa began serving our patients in 2020 and has made a significant impact on both patient care and hospital operations. She is the ER medical director, chairs our emergency medicine credentials committee and is president-elect of our medical executive committee.

A graduate of Saba University School of Medicine, Dr. Nuesa completed residency training at Kendall Regional Medical’s Level I trauma center in Miami and is board certified in emergency medicine by the American Board of Emergency Medicine.

The Physician of the Quarter award is based on comments from peers, team members, and patients. One nominator wrote: “Dr. Nuesa is a skilled physician, but the patience and compassion she shows our patients is second to none.”

Other comments included, “Dr. Nuesa goes out of her way to assess and calm situations prior to them escalating. She quickly thinks in emergency situations and is an amazing asset to have.”

Team members describe Dr. Nuesa as “compassionate, authentic, highly skilled, always available and a team player.”

We had a great time with our community and team members at our annual Holiday Lights Festival. Young and old enjoyed activities, Christmas visitors and Florida “snow.” The highlight of the evening was Santa arriving on a fire truck to light the tree and visit with children. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the holiday season with us!
