A special shoutout to Helen and Dr. Kozakiewicz for going above and beyond for a patient in need.

When a patient arrived at our office with a hearing aid dome lodged in her ear, Helen quickly stepped in to help and connected her with Dr. Kozakiewicz, who successfully removed the device. Although the hearing aid had been purchased elsewhere, they ensured the patient received the prompt care she needed.

Thank you both for exemplifying exceptional patient care, compassion, and a commitment to helping others.

From Dunkin’ runs and Dr. Pepper breaks to homemade treats, lunches, and plenty of laughter, we loved celebrating our incredible ASC nurses and surgical team during Nurses Week.

Thank you for the compassion, teamwork, and care you bring to our patients every single day. Your dedication behind the scenes keeps VEI running smoothly, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

We’d also like to give a special congratulations to Ruth Westmoreland, who has been a valued COA and laser tech in the ASC since 2021 and recently graduated from nursing school. Ruth will now continue her journey with VEI as an OR RN, and we couldn’t be more excited for her.
