It’s Antibiotic Awareness Week – a time for us to learn more about antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria changes and stops responding to the medicines that once killed them.
Here’s how you can help:
🧼 Wash hands regularly
💉 Stay up-to-date on vaccines
💊 Take antibiotics only when prescribed

Paula shows compassion and dedication each and every day, and has exemplified the meaning of going above and beyond while the department’s manager is temporarily out on leave.

She leads by example by always showing genuine compassion for patients and their care. Her positive attitude towards patients and staff is a prime example of what it means to be part of the Loring Hospital team.”
