After experiencing some issues following a Portal upgrade, we have reverted to the previous version of the Portal. We will work with Meditech to get the new version ready for use and let users know when the next upgrade will happen.

This morning, Daniel Vincent, an RN on PCU, was honored with The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. An excerpt from the nomination said:

"I came to the PCU with a high level of pain and anxiety about the symptoms I was experiencing. I had a recent kidney stent placed in about a week ago. I started having intense pain and nausea and was unable to keep anything down. After speaking with urology staff, they said I needed to go to the ER The ER staff did great and trying to keep up with all of my symptoms. However, my first night with Daniel as my nurse, he took care of me more than just physical. He listened to me. He listened to my fear. Listen to my guilt of being away from my family for the second time being hospitalized in two weeks. Daniel took the time to really talk things through with me and help me focus on healing on the things that I can control. Despite his busy schedule as an RN has on the floor he wanted to make sure I knew he was there for me. Daniel also showed his advocacy skills for me and asked what worked really well for me last time and what didn’t and discussed this with the Provider being assigned to me. His 360 approach to skills, communication and compassion made me feel safe and heard. Daniel is an exemplary example of an RN patient working together as a team and needs to be recognized for his technical as well as emotional care of his patients.”

Thank you Daniel for providing such exceptional care! We appreciate you.💙

The DEIB Core team is raising awareness of holidays and recognition day/months that you might not know about. Today we are highlighting Earth Day!

Every year on April 22, people around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day—a reminder that protecting our planet is a shared responsibility. While Earth Day began as a grassroots movement over 50 years ago, its message is just as relevant today: thoughtful choices, made consistently, can lead to meaningful change.

Earth Day is an opportunity not only to reflect on environmental challenges, but also to recognize how individual and collective actions can contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future.
