Plays of the Week:
Play of the week to the entire Ward team last Sunday, January 21st who were able to recognize, initiate, and admirably perform a code on a patient on 3W. We never expect something like that to happen on our Ward, but the team reacted quickly and provided optimal care. Everyone from the nurses, medical students, RT, residents, and attendings were invaluable and played a critical role. Thank you for your hard work and setting an example for the rest of the hospital.
Congratulations to Ms. Annie Francis, NP McGirt, Dr. Hoffner, Ms. Linda Ogbonna, and HN Dyanna Keiji who won ACE awards (A Culture of Excellence). Well deserved!
Play of the week to Dr. Brandon Neal and the rest of the Community Outreach and Advocacy Committee for their MLK Day of Service Event. Great attendance from our NCC Peds Community!
Another play of the week to Dr. Brandon Neal, for his attendance of the Phi Delta Epsilon's International Convention. Way to take advantage of a great opportunity!
Congratulations to everyone accepted to present at the APA Conference in Charlottesville on February 24th!:
