Nursing Innovation

2019-2020 Nursing Report: A Message from Our Chief Nursing Officer

Ðǿմ«Ã½


Eight years ago, we published our first-ever annual nursing report 10 creative nursing ideas. Our goal was to share our own nursing innovations, outcomes, and tools and in turn we invited you to share your ideas with us. Nurses are extremely innovative, and we were excited to spark a larger community of learning across our profession. Over the past few years, our health system has contributed to see dramatic growth, and in a few short months we will be opening a new rehabilitation hopsital, ambulatory care center, and another health center in our community. And you will see that many of the projects we are sharing this year are builty on, or inspired by, earlier initiatives. Both in our physical spaces and our nursing practice, we are truly Building Momentum.
