Congratulations to Craig Sitzman, MD for receiving the Care Like Crazy Award!
A family member of a patient shared these kind words about Craig.
"On behalf of the team at Heartland Neonatology, I would like to nominate Dr. Craig Sitzman for the Care Like Crazy Award. Recently, we had a complex case where a baby was born extremely premature and was in critical condition. Dr. Sitzman took time throughout his week on service to explain the patient’s condition thoroughly. During his day off last week, he stayed at the patient’s bedside, continuing to assess and educate family on the patient’s condition so they could make a decision. The family ultimately decided to withdraw cares, and Dr. Sitzman was there to listen, answer questions, talk them through the process and be a shoulder to cry on during this very difficult time. Dr. Sitzman also took time with the nursing staff to help them as well, as this was a challenging case for a variety of reasons. This is just one of the many examples of how Dr. Sitzman Cares like Crazy and represents the high quality, compassionate care that Bryan prides itself in providing."
"Recently, an urgent neonatal transport faced an unexpected obstacle when the responding ambulance was delayed due to a crash. Knowing time was critical, Dr. Craig Sitzman and the neonatal transport team quickly adapted. Rather than risk delaying care, Dr. Sitzman used his personal vehicle to transport the RN, NNP and respiratory therapist while an ambulance carrying the transport isolette followed behind. Thanks to the team's flexibility, communication and commitment, they arrived in time to provide immediate neonatal care at delivery.
The infant was safely stabilized and transported back to Bryan Medical Center that afternoon. When circumstances threatened access to specialized care, Dr. Sitzman and the transport team found a way to ensure a newborn and family received the expert care they needed, exactly when they needed it."
Craig, thank you for the care you provide daily to your patients. You make a difference in the lives of others. We are honored that you are part of the Bryan Medical Staff.
