Meet Nurse of the Year Finalist Deb Alder, BSN, RN, CPN. Deb's focus for nearly 16 years has been in emergency medicine and the pediatric ED. Deb’s work to develop a sensory cart that improves communication and cooperation while providing a calm, soothing environment for young patients and train nurses how to best use it is one of the reasons she was named one of two finalists for the 2019 Press Ganey Nurse of the Year Award, a highly respected recognition program.
.
We are so proud and excited for Deb to have been recognized for this honor.

We're excited to share that we have welcomed three Virginia hospitals into our growing Bon Secours Mercy Health family. The hospitals include Southside Regional Medical Center in Petersburg, Southampton Memorial Hospital in Franklin and Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center in Emporia.

Each location held welcome events and prayer services to recognize our newest hospitals and greet associates. Leaders also rounded the meet and greet events with cookies as a way to introduce themselves and personally welcome associates.

The addition of these southeastern Virginia hospitals to our ministry allows us to further our Mission by creating a leading health care system across southeastern Virginia that delivers superior quality and value to their communities and enhances access for growing populations.

Giving your time and services through volunteering not only changes the lives of those in your community, but also helps you lead a healthier lifestyle. We believe we are at our best as human beings when we are caring for others - here are some reasons we think you should add volunteering in your community to your list of New Year’s resolutions:
◼️ Volunteering can help you meet people in your neighborhood, make friends and build your network, which is vital to fighting loneliness, social isolation, and finding a purpose. ◼️ It can help reduce stress and make you feel happier. ◼️ You can discover a new hobby, expand your skill sets, and make cherished memories.

This is Zoey, she is a patient at the pediatric outpatient infusion center at St. Mary's Hospital. Her mom told us that Ashlee, her infusion nurse, has inspired her to become a nurse when she grows up. On Christmas, she got the bet present ever - her first set of nurse scrubs! We wish Zoey the best in her quest to become a nurse one day!

Fish is well-known for its array of benefits. In addition to being a lean source of protein, its omega-3 fatty acids help with everything from heart health to better skin. But it can be intimidating to prepare. We're here to help with a simple baked salmon recipe.
🐟 Place the filet of fish on a piece of aluminum foil, skin side down.
🐟 Drizzle olive oil on. Place lemon slices and sprigs of rosemary on top.
🐟 Wrap the foil around the fish creating a tent and pinching the edges closed.
🐟 Place the tents on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Try serving with a green veggie of choice.
