Byron Roselli thought he knew what recovery from major surgery would look like. After six heart attacks, seven stent procedures and quintuple bypass surgery, he knew how long the road back could be.

But when he needed surgery for cancer in both lungs, his experience was different. Thanks to minimally invasive robotic surgery at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, Byron was home within days and back to doing what he loves: spending time with his family and getting out on the golf course with his sons.

Thoracic surgeon Dr. Svetlana Kotova used the da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system to remove the cancer from both lungs. The technology, made possible by a $3 million investment supported by generous donors, is helping bring advanced surgical care closer to home.

For Byron, the impact comes down to something simple: more time with the people he loves.
“I had surgery to continue on with the people that mean so much to me,” he said. “Thank you to the medical team for giving me more rounds to play and more sunsets to see with my family.”

Recently, 80 PeaceHealth caregivers came together for the 6th Annual JD Miller Neuroscience Nursing Conference!

The day included presentations on the latest in neuroscience care, time to connect with colleagues and, one of the most meaningful parts of the day, stories from guest speakers who shared their own experiences with neurological illness and recovery.

Hearing directly from people who have experienced these conditions firsthand brought a different perspective to the day and the work our caregivers do every day for patients and families.

We’re grateful to Dr. J.D. Miller, whose vision and dedication established the foundation that makes this conference possible each year, as well as everyone who helped plan, present and make the day happen.

Investing in our caregivers is an investment in our community.

Thanks to donor generosity, 15 PeaceHealth caregivers at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center are getting support to continue their education and pursue new careers in healthcare through a partnership with Clark College.

For Josephina Cipriano Bautista, a Certified Nursing Assistant, the program opened a door she didn’t think was available to her: “The HEET program opened doors I never thought were available to me. It removed barriers, connected me with mentors, and showed me a path into healthcare.”

With donor support, caregivers like Josephina can build their careers here while continuing to care for the people who live here. Read the full story: https://ow.ly/GuNx50ZQkrW

Now that flu season has started, it’s a good time to learn about sepsis. Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection and can quickly become a life-threatening emergency.

Knowing the signs can help you act quickly. Watch for confusion, fever or chills, trouble breathing, a fast heart rate, clammy or sweaty skin, and extreme pain or discomfort.

You can help prevent infections that may lead to sepsis by washing your hands, keeping cuts clean and covered, and staying up to date on recommended vaccines, including your flu vaccine.

If an infection isn’t getting better or is getting worse, get medical care right away.
