This week, we proudly announced our rebranding as Brown University Health, a transformation that reflects the organization’s expanded affiliation with Brown University. The shift not only highlights our academic alignment but also signals our commitment to expanding our reach and impact, bringing trusted, high-quality healthcare to more patients across the region. #brownuniversityhealth

To help mark the start of our journey as Brown University Health, we created a video to share, inspired by the oaths and pledges that physicians and nurses have long taken as they enter their new roles, swearing to care for the sick and uphold the traditions of their professions. The video features 30 team members from every corner of the organization, representing the broadest range of roles and locations. #brownuniversityhealth

From October 6 to 12, Lifespan recognizes both Emergency Nurses Week and Pediatric Nursing Week. Both roles are critical members of a patient’s care team, and often first to see the patient, so they must work quickly to treat the sick or injured individual or child. Emergency nurses demonstrate remarkable medical expertise daily, providing critical medical care to patients, identifying medical issues, triaging and determining severity, all while keeping a calm demeanor and reassuring patients and families. Pediatric nurses are specialized in caring for patients from birth through adolescence. They assess the child’s condition and record their medical histories and symptoms. Not only do they focus on the health and well-being of the child, but they oftentimes provide care to the patients’ families. Thank you to the Lifespan emergency and pediatric nurses for all you do! #EmergencyNursesWeek #PediatricNursingWeek

In 1976, a few weeks after graduating from Bryant University, Denise Brown applied for, and obtained, a position with the child development center at Rhode Island Hospital. Since then, her staying power has granted her entrée into the group of long-serving employees who have helped build a hospital into the state’s largest healthcare system. Denise has had a positive impact on the lives of so many whose careers are committed to healing. She sums it up by saying, “Life is an amazing journey, and you must enjoy the ride.”

As a Senior Clinical Therapist with Gateway Healthcare, Katarina Ellerbe finds a great amount of personal fulfillment in helping others. “I wanted to make a difference and help individuals and their families lead a more fulfilling life. I get to work with people of different backgrounds, ages, and personalities to meet the individual needs of each family, and I’m able to act as a safe space for those who need.” This calling to provide support to people in her community is one of the many reasons Katarina enjoys her job. Another reason is the flexibility her position affords her. “As a working mom, I have the ability to work full time and care for my family. Lifespan supports me in feeling like I can have it all.” Join Katarina’s team at Gateway Healthcare—visit our website to see all positions at Gateway: https://lnkd.in/dty5zaZr
