It's ! Part of our mission is to share our unique care model, Care Beyond the Bedside, with the wider healthcare community and explain how it improves health outcomes.

And the most important part of that model? Play! 🎈

Our Chief Health Transformation Officer, Nick Holekamp, MD, recently appeared on the prestigious Pediatric Leadership podcast from Becker's Healthcare to talk about why play is the “work” of childhood, why that fact can’t be ignored when a child is in the hospital, and how we incorporate play into everything we do at Ranken Jordan! 💪

This , Ranken Jordan celebrates Dr. Amy Zimmermann! Our physician has been honored with the monthly MRJ Way Award for demonstrating our core value of “Excellence”.

According to her nomination, Dr. Amy stepped into action after a brief brainstorming session about areas of improvement. She took it upon herself to review dozens of patient charts and communicated up-to-date hearing and vision assessment plans with their care teams! Rather than thinking "great idea but there's not enough time,” Dr. Amy dove in headfirst and executed the entire project, staying late to see it through to completion.

The MRJ Way award is named for our founder, Mary Ranken Jordan, who selflessly modeled of all of our hospital’s core values. 💪

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Zimmermann! Thank you for serving Ranken Jordan for 17 incredible years! Our team and our patients are so lucky to have you. Happy Anniversary! 🥳
