Play of the Week:
Play of the week to Drs. Jenn Hepps, Rich Zanetti, Sebastian Lara, Catherine Kimball-Eayrs, Theresa Urbina, Kristen Smith, John Podraza, and Niharika Samtani for covering the inpatient pediatric units for the weekend while the residents enjoyed their annual beach retreat! We truly cannot thank you enough for your time and service this weekend. We greatly enjoyed the time away to relax and spend time together. See photos below!
A special shout-out to Alex Mauro for making truly delicious fajitas at the retreat!
Bravo to Taylor Blackburn and Marianna Caballero, who were on the ward last week and assisted the NICU team overnight during several "code purple" events. Both were in the delivery room within minutes and ready to assist, showing their teamwork and willingness to help. Well done, Taylor and Marianna!
Kudos to Jenny Bencze for her positive attitude, efficiency, and teamwork as the PICU surge resident this week. She effortlessly took care of the PICU patients and assisted the ward team with ED consults during a very busy week. Well done, Jenny!

Announcements:
All Staff:
Please be advised of the following changes to pharmacy operations, effective June 6, 2022:
Same-day refills will no longer be filled. Refills must be called in ahead of time and picked up ONLY at the Drive-Thru pick up or the NEX.
All NEW prescriptions will be processed at the Arrowhead and America pharmacies only.
There will likely be changes to the pediatric pharmacy hours/availability, though these details have not yet finalized. Stay tuned for further updates.
The above changes will be messaged to patients via PAO (i.e. updates on social media and on the intranet, etc.), but patients will likely need reminders once the changes are in effect.
For staff who need to pick up prescriptions- please be advised that you can request refills using your CAC-enabled computer at apps5.capmed.mil/StaffPharmacyRefills/Home/Index. Prescriptions will be ready within 2 hours at America or Arrowhead and you will receive a text when they are ready. When you arrive to the pharmacy, pick up a ticket at the kiosk that says "MTF Staff" to bypass the line and be issued your prescriptions.
