Congratulations to Tricia Casler for winning the 2024 Innovators Award! The Innovators Award, which was established in 2010, continues the tradition of recognizing innovative thinkers with ideas that improve patient quality, service or the financial impact of operations.
Tricia has been part of St. David’s South Austin Medical Center since 1998. Since joining the team, she has consistently demonstrated extraordinary leadership and a commitment to providing excellent patient care. She also developed a QI team to reduce fall rates within one of our hospital units, engaging her team in six creative cycles of quality improvement measures in order to achieve improved fall rate outcomes. One such measure included re-positioning signage about falls to be more visible to the patient, family and care team. She also created a “Falls Escape Room,” challenging staff to conduct a perfect safety round and correct all falls hazards within the space.

Tori Smith, a 1984 Olympian and six-time NCAA champion at The University of Texas at Austin, could barely walk after years of pain from scoliosis. To preserve Tori’s mobility and help her continue swimming for years to come, Dr. Craig Kuhns, an orthopedic surgeon at St. David's Medical Center, used advanced image guidance technology to perform minimally invasive surgery to straighten Tori’s spine, remove bulging discs and insert spacers to protect her spine from decompressing. She was able to walk the night of her surgery and felt instant relief. Six-months after her life-changing surgery, Tori returned to the pool.
Today, Tori continues to pursue her love of swimming. In honor of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Tori and the members of her 1984 Olympic team reunited to celebrate their 40th anniversary and to cheer on Team U.S.A.
The Olympics have inspired many of us to be more active. If you could compete in the Olympics, what sport would you pick?

Let's talk about something many new parents experience but may not always discuss openly: the baby blues.
