Regions Hospital’s Post

I am enjoying the habit of boosting examples of leadership in action. Perhaps I should use it as a feature in the upcoming newsletter- Words can influence minds but actions build the future. Cheers to a brighter future in cancer care. Breaking News! Great news for Irvine & Santa Ana CA residents and oncology professionals. A new facility is coming to the southern CA region, bringing care options closer to home. Residents, healthcare leaders, and market stats all suggest that this is exactly what the area needs. For those living in the area, this means better options for care nearer to you, without having to drive over an hour for the type of doctor you need. Bringing top-notch care options closer to residents is critical to access and changes how many will experience treatment in the area. It means less cost to patients who travel out of town and pay for overnight stays. It means actually getting the care you deserve for those who are not able to overcome geographical and financial barriers to care in their region. For those working in rad-onc or planning to, and are from the area, you are getting a brand new facility as an option for your career. You can reconsider having to move away from your relatives to get the best job in your field. A trusted name and the best minds in the field are now in your backyard. This will drive oncology professionals to the region for better cost of living, housing, and research opportunities. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing care options closer to the southern CA region in Irvine. Let's celebrate better options for care and career opportunities for oncology workers. #Irvine #SantaAna #healthcare #oncology #careeropportunities #newfacility #healthcaretechnicalstaffing

Incredible moment at CHCW yesterday, as the PCBH team finished out a record breaking month regarding number of visits and handoffs. In total, the team set all-time records by completing 1,422 visits and 530 same-day/warm-handoffs. These visits and handoffs aren't meet & greets, rather, they are radical moments that gather a patient's context and provide a contextually-relevant and compassionate intervention that ripples out beyond the humans in the visit. As we discuss regularly in emails and team meetings, numbers and metrics are cool to discuss and breaking records produces "warm & fuzzy" moments. And, metrics/records are never and will never be the goal. Instead, they are reflections of our program's infinite values. This isn’t about visits, this is about moments; this isn’t about finances, this is about healing; this isn’t about records, this is about love; this isn’t about individuals, this is about an incredible, talented, and unrelenting team and community. And... still... we crushed our all-time records!!! Pumped to see what the rest of the year produces!!!

One of the common questions I've heard over the years about Global Medical Brigades is when we will begin our work in a new country. It doesn't happen often. Where and when to expand are comprehensive decisions that take into consideration a multitude of factors. We ask ourselves and prospective community partners questions like: - Is our collaboration scalable beyond medical relief? Will it be possible to tap into and sustain local leadership to promote access to healthcare, public health and water infrastructure, and economic development? - What are the current and potential socioeconomic strengths and challenges at local, national, and regional levels? - What needs are prioritized and requested by prospective partner communities? What resources do we have to offer? Do these align? With our impactful history of sustainable development in Central America, strong local leadership, and high stakeholder interest, communities Belize became an undeniable fit for our program. It's exciting to hear feedback live from volunteers Aaliyah and Maggie from Montclair State University!

Okayyyyy... I slept for three days and now I'm BACK. And I made muffins for the team. Last Thursday we had nearly the entire department (150ish!) in person. We wanted to start the year with clarity, simplifying the "plans on plans on plans" that Public Health is used to... distilling the next 12-18 month's focus down to a few key efforts. We also wanted to laugh. And we wanted to cry. And we wanted to get to know each other in new ways. We did all of those things. I think I made it about 43 minutes before crying... plus we did Laughing Yoga, so the laughter was mandatory. We played with fidget toys and Play-Doh, and we drew our dream communities. We ate many bagels and bopped our heads to a suitable-for-work bespoke playlist. Most importantly, we explored how we can keep reaching for more and better to serve the hundreds of thousands of people we are entrusted to keep safe and healthy. The Cardinal Seven is our term for the seven big things we will commit to this year. They're bold but doable. They aren't rocket science--but in a world where everything feels overly complicated, it's a nice reprieve from checklists and KPI's. Yes, we will still track and measure and get reaccredited (I declare it), but sometimes you gotta just say what you want to do in plain words. This year, we commit to: 🗣 Creating a culture of honest, 360 feedback that disrupts bias 🗣 🤑 Being better financial stewards 🤑 🏆 Creating a culture of excellence through rapid QI and more transparent recognition programs 🏆 💪 Busting down walls and taking more clinical services to the streets 💪 📈 Modernizing our data systems, reaching towards Public Health 4.0 📈 📢 Being known through a renewed focus on social marketing, brand, and presence 📢 Yes, that's only six out of seven... but the seventh is way too big for a single LinkedIn post. Let's just say that number seven has something to do with cactuses, maps, and real-deal health equity. 🌵 I feel overwhelmingly, unapologetically blessed. It's not all puppies and corn dogs, as one of our directors said at the meeting, but with this team in place, there is hope. We have ambition, energy, humility, and trust. And we know that if we fail, it means we tried. If we tried, it means we believed. (Yes, I used that at the meeting and yes I admitted it was stolen from a Peloton ride I took that very morning)

How I hope neurodivergent people are included in the conversation, of HealthCare Insurance Policies, in the event this has been done, more awareness would go along way...Give me a platform to share my story of raising a neurodivergent child, in this part of the world. The therapy sessions are costly, not to mention that they are available for the financially able. As we move towards #UniversalHealthcare; discussions on more affordable equipped facilities, across the country should take centre stage. #UniversalHeathCare #NeurodiversityHealthCare

Reflecting on Service and Sacrifice This Memorial Day 🇺🇸 As we approach Memorial Day, it's a time not just for barbecues and the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, a day to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom 🕊️. For professionals like those in the life sciences and healthcare industry, this day resonates deeply. It’s a reminder of the parallels between the commitments made by our armed forces and our own commitments to service and excellence in our field. The dedication required to excel in the demanding world of pharmaceuticals, navigating complex regulations and ensuring the safety and efficacy of treatments, mirrors the dedication of our servicemen and women. This Memorial Day, let us pause to acknowledge the sacrifices that enable us to live in freedom and to pursue advancements in medical science and healthcare 🌟. Let’s also reflect on how we, as part of this industry, can honor their legacy through our commitment to improving patient outcomes and upholding the highest standards of integrity and quality in our work. How does Memorial Day inspire you to reflect on your own professional and personal commitments?
