Plays of the Week:
Play of the week goes to Drs. Anthony Lucido, Amy Davis and the 3 West Staff who received the following recognition from a patient's family: "From the moment we arrived via transport and she was set up in her room, until the moment we left ... the providers in 3 West were outstanding! The attentive nursing staff was so wonderful. They even played with my daughter when she was feeling up to it. The doctors walked us through every step of her care and treatment. I was so impressed by the level of care, it is reassuring that I have chosen to keep my family on Tricare Prime with treatment at the MTFs." "The staff in 3 West are exceptional."
Play of the week also goes to Dr. Bailey Howard, who took incredible ownership of a profoundly sick patient in the PICU, provided much-needed continuity between multiple attending providers, and professionally and compassionately helped the whole family navigate very difficult decisions. She did this while also taking time to ensure that the rest of the ward team had what they needed. Amazing teamwork!

Comfort Cases Donation Drive
Will you show your support this holiday season by making a donation to our Comfort Cases Donation Drive? Comfort Cases’ mission is to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care through Comfort, Community, Character, and Compassion. They provide children entering foster care with backpacks filled with comfort and personal care items, since often times these children go into foster care with only the clothes on their backs, or given a trash bag to carry their belongings. Please drop off your donations in one of two train boxes located in Peds Specialty or Peds Primary. Donations will be collected until December 16th.
Amoxicillin Shortage and Alternatives
There is a nationwide Amoxicillin shortage that may impact patient care in the near future.
If Amoxicillin is not available, pharmacy will contact providers to request an alternative medication order. Attached is a list of alternative antibiotics that can be used in place of Amoxicillin that was developed by Peds ID and Pharmacy for your reference. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Peds ID or Pharmacy with any questions.
