Aurora Health Care

Delaney Verba, Nurse of the Year – Aurora St. Luke’s South Shore, advocates for evidence-based nursing practice in the Emergency Department (ED), always ensuring peers are aware of new nursing practice initiatives. She is an outstanding role model and a strong team lead, excelling specifically as a triage nurse. Delaney believes being an ED nurse is about making life-saving differences. It’s about being there to help strangers at a critical time. Being an ED nurse means being someone who patients and families turn to – and trust – during life-threatening situations.

We’re excited to share that history has been made with accreditation of the Aurora Graduate Medical Education’s Chiropractic Residency Program, as we are the very first, private, integrated health care system-based program in the U.S. to receive this accreditation! The Aurora Health Care Integrated Clinical Practice Chiropractic Residency Program (AHC ICPCRP) has been awarded programmatic accreditation by The Council on Chiropractic Education. Program Director, Eric Kirk, DC, DACO, began envisioning this program in 2019 and, with the support of the Graduate Medical Education program, mobilized it with its first class in 2022. “There are so many people to thank for their support and efforts to build this program. I could not be more grateful for our graduate medical education team and the physician collaborators that contributed toward the development and continued growth of this program. It delivers an educational experience that builds a collaborative spirit between chiropractors and other medical professionals, and in doing so, enhances the clinical decision making and patient care experience for all who participate within the program,” Dr. Kirk shares.

Virtual nursing developed during the COVID-19 pandemic as a solution to a problem: more patients, fewer staff and the stress of treating a new disease meant nurses needed support. Since then, it’s become a clear road to the future of nursing, improving efficiency, nurse well-being and patient safety and Advocate Health is paving the way. “We started four years ago using baby monitors on a few units and now 22 hospitals in the Advocate Health network use virtual nurses to manage admissions and discharges,” says Patricia Mook, senior vice president, enterprise nursing operations, education and professional development for Advocate Health. “We’ve already assisted more than 31 thousand patients across the six states where we practice and any new hospital construction will include the capacity to implement virtual care technology because we know it helps our teams be more efficient and ensures our patients receive the safest care possible.” But it’s not about having the right technology. It’s about how you use it. That’s why Advocate Health nurse leaders like Mook are sharing their expertise on what to do and what not to do when deploying virtual nursing programs. Their knowledge ensures that we utilize these tools to their fullest potential, improving both the quality and safety of patient care. Read more: https://bit.ly/4dOdIzd

We teamed up with the Milwaukee Brewers for a day to reflect on and celebrate the contributions of players, coaches and members of the Negro Leagues to baseball and society. Aurora teammates and community leaders were in attendance to cheer on the Brewers and help us honor the rich history of the Negro Leagues, exploring the Yesterday's Negro League Baseball Players (YNLBP) Traveling Exhibit before the game and having the chance to create a baseball card of their own. The first pitch was thrown by Jessica Johnson, Vice President of Operations for Aurora Medical Center Grafton. Jessica is a United States Air Force Veteran and proud spouse of a retired Air Force Veteran. She was also accompanied on the field by her son, Zaiden. Thank you to everyone who joined us at American Family Field!
