The Coal City campus had a booth at Family Wellness Night at Coal City High School. It was a large event and well attended by the community. Riverside’s table and giveaways were a big hit.
Dr. Robinson, Dr. Fares, Tara Campo, Krista Barton, and Barbie Mullett were there from the Coal City Campus; Kirstin Carson and Barb Hartman from Oncology; Steve Liaromitis from Ortho; and Kathleen Gallagher from Pulmonology were there from the specialty providers at Coal City.
The best part of the night was Dr. Robinson holding a snake.
Oncology/Radiation Week was celebrated in Coal City with themed days. Monday was wear your favorite sports team, Tuesday was wear Tie Dye, Wednesday was wear Red, Thursday was dress like your former self.
Congratulations to our 2024 December Daisy Honoree, Michelle Jenczmionka, Clinical Nurse Educator/Education.
Her nomination read: “We would like to give recognition to Michelle for her exceptional care. The patient began to bleed profusely, creating a life threatening situation. Despite the chaos and urgency, Michelle remained calm, efficient, and decisive. Her quick thinking and expertise were pivotal in stabilizing the patient. She provided clear and confident direction to the entire team, ensuring that everyone worked cohesively to save this patients life. Due to Michelle’s efforts, the patient was stabilized and transferred to a higher level hospital for continued care. This transfer would not have been possible without her incredible skill, focus, and dedication. The patient is now alive and recovering, thanks to Michelle’s outstanding ability to manage the crisis and advocate for their care. Her actions that day exemplified the very best of nursing, clinical excellence, compassionate care, and unwavering commitment to her patients. We are fortunate to have such an extraordinary nurse on our team. It’s people like Michelle who make me proud to be in this profession. Thank you Michelle for being a true life saver and inspiring us all.”
