Congratulations to Adwoa, our recent DAISY award recipient at St. Elizabeth! Adwoa's nominator had this to say: "Adwoa showed exceptional compassion and kindness while caring for our mother. During one of the most difficult and uncertain times our family has ever experience, Adwoa was a constant source of comfort. We were fortunate to have her as our evening nurse for three nights in a row, and each evening she greeted us with a warm smile and an uplifting attitude that put us at ease. Her unwavering optimism touched us the most. She would always tell our mom that when she got better, she would be dancing in the hallways. Those words gave us hope when hope felt hard to find. Adwoa never stopped believing in our mom and her positivity was contagious. Adwoa cared for all of us. She patiently answered our questions, reassured us, and treated our mother with genuine dignity, kindness, and respect. She made us feel that we were not facing this journey alone. The compassion she showed our family will stay with us forever. Adwoa reminded us that nursing is more than medicine; it is about caring for people when they are most vulnerable." Thank you, Adwoa, for the compassionate care you give to your patients each and every day!

This week, we proudly celebrate National Surgical Technologist Week! 🌟

Surgical technologists are a vital part of the operating room team. Often working behind the scenes, they help create a safe, efficient surgical environment by preparing instruments and supplies, maintaining the sterile field, anticipating the needs of the surgical team, and keeping patient safety at the center of every procedure.

Their role requires exceptional attention to detail, a strong knowledge of sterile technique, technical skill, teamwork, and the ability to think ahead in an environment where every second can matter.

Most patients may never know the name of the surgical technologist who helped care for them. But before the procedure began, throughout the surgery, and until the case was complete, a surgical technologist was there making sure the room was ready, instruments were sterile and accounted for, the surgical team had what they needed, and the patient remained the priority.

At CHI Health St. Elizabeth, we are incredibly fortunate to have dedicated surgical technologists who bring their knowledge, skill, and commitment to our operating rooms every day. 🌟
