With 33 beds, our 9 Silver medicine unit is one of the largest in the hospital. The staff takes care of a wide range of patients. Many of our colleagues on this unit have been at MSBI for a long time. They all do an excellent job staying flexible and mindful in such a fast-paced environment.
A great example of this is Patricia Diaz, RN, who recently noticed that a patient’s medication did not match the prescription written on her record. The two medications had similar names, and this great catch helped ensure that the patient was kept safe. Thank you for your incredible professionalism, Patricia.
On Wednesday, 9 Silver was flooded with NYPD police officers from the 44th precinct. They congratulated patient Evelyn Camacho for her more than 35 years of service as an Auxiliary Captain in the precinct and appointed her to Deputy Inspector. Evelyn was extremely moved by this great honor and by the care she received from our amazing 9 Silver staff.
Thank you for supporting New York’s finest and for providing excellent care to our community.
