I wanted to take a moment to recognize that this has been a tremendous week.
- The hospital was full and the ambulatory practices were very busy.
- We opened a new unit for electroconvulsive therapy, located in the main hospital on 6 Dazian/Silver. This unit, relocated from MSSL, represents our long term commitment to expanding behavioral health at MSBI.
- All of you continue to do amazing work at reducing the incidence of hospital infections. In a recent test, the EVS staff received a perfect grade in keeping surfaces clean. Outstanding!
- And on Friday, we recognized ten of our colleagues who were selected by their peers to receive the 2017 Heart Awards. It was an amazing ceremony in which we celebrated our history and our commitment to each other. In the next several weeks, I will be sharing some of the pictures from the ceremony and stories about the Heart Award winners.
