Kudos to Elizabeth Kerr
(Social Work Clinician, Outpatient Social Work)
"Elizabeth helped me explore the Stanford campus and Cancer Center. She has profound knowledge of cancer centers, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, patients’ major psycho-social issues, and SW role and support. And she is resourceful and a great team builder too. Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your wisdom and making me more comfortable here at Stanford during this new hire orientation and training week. "
From: Arya Sumam, SW
Thanks to all .healthcare’s amazing Social Workers! We appreciate you! ❤️ appreciates all you do!

"The K7 Nursing team is exemplary. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and hardworking. They are willing to answer my questions, be an intermediary with the Doctors, and take the time to talk with/ counsel me. It is notable that the nurses always help each other. Different nurses, nurse assistants, charge nurses came into my room to help me when my given nurse was with another patient. This is great teamwork. I have been a patient on K7 in the past, and I specifically asked for K7 on this admission. I am thankful to be here on K7 and at Stanford Health Care. I am never disappointed. This is a fine institution. Be proud to work here!"

What our patients say about us:

Endoscopy OPC Team -- Redwood City
Special Mention: Jennifer Taufui, Jojie Alino, Nick Bautista, Sheri Tan and Julia Korzun
"I write to thank you for the wonderful care you showed my dad today. For context, he has had a rough couple of years. He lost his small business in another state last year and reluctantly moved to California this year, where he has only a few social supports. His physical and mental health declined rapidly, but he repeatedly refused to see any doctors, let alone undergo an endoscopy and colonoscopy. But when he returned home today, he kept telling me about the genuine, warm care you all showed him and patience with the language barrier. He usually is reticent, so the (largely unprompted) stories from him were a nice surprise!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm even more overly grateful that today's experience likely encouraged my father to continue seeking treatment for his health issues."
-- From patient's daughter

Congratulations to these 52 nurse residents who are in the top 10% of all cohort 34 applicants. They bring diverse experiences to our team, like starting a new career after one as a professional ballet dancer. And they are stepping up in big ways. One has already earned the prestigious Daisy Award. That kind of compassion and commitment to excellence are reflective of the entire cohort—a group with proven resiliency and dedication. Despite COVID-19, this group of nurses has risen to the occasion to become integral members of our healthcare team.

Stephanie Legette MSN, RN, Clinical Nurse II (C1/G2S), created a Leading with Love poster board to share knowledge with her team members while also having some fun. Each day Stephanie sends out a paragraph clue of the chosen prominent figure for that day. The paragraph contains childhood information, their struggle, and their contributions to history. After the prominent figure is correctly identified, Stephanie places a picture on the daily calendar.

❤️ : “HOW DO YOU GIVE BACK?”
LEARN about Katie O'Donnell’s answer (Katie is a Clinical Nurse, .healthcare’s 500P Pre Post)

"As an Integrative nurse coach, I hold space for others to feel heard, supported, and healed. When connecting in this way, there are endless opportunities for understanding, exploring, creativity, innovation, and taking sustainable action for positive outcomes and results.
To give back, I’ve created a space for nurses to heal and create a sustainable work-life balance and more joy. Through one-on-one coaching group coaching, nurses feel relief from stress and exhaustion and can begin to create the life they deserve. I love this process of transformation and change."

Kims Plantin Clinical Nurse II -- Emergency Services

"First, I want to thank you for the amazing care you provided my mother. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer, I decided to put off studying for the bar exam just to take care of her, and it’s been a challenge to say the least. Thank you for your encouraging words and your consistent compassion and understanding of my situation. I now have much more admiration for nurses because of nurses like you. I am amazed by your patience and calm demeanor. I also want you to know I will take your advice and look into entering the field because of you."

Traditionally, SHC’s femorally-cannulated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients were kept on bedrest. However, after a thorough review of the literature and consultations with similar academic medical centers, a trial of a progressive mobility pathway was initiated by the Rehabilitation Team. This pathway was based on an assessment tool called the 'hip flexion screen.' This dedicated rehabilitation team, led by Shanelle Middleton, PT, DPT, CCS and Deepali Bankar, PT, MPT, CCS worked to determine if this quality improvement project improved the safety and progressive mobility of this patient population. Shanelle and Deepali presented their outstanding project at the 10th Annual John Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference in Baltimore, MD, and received an award for the “Best Poster Presentation!”
Congratulations to this team of diligent physical therapists for continually innovating to improve patients’ quality of care and wellbeing, and then for sharing this innovation with the world!

Jennifer Jones, RN, Emergency Department
"Jennifer was ah-may-zing!!! She was very thorough and professional while maintaining a much welcomed friendliness and warmth. Jennifer is exceedingly kind and caring to both patient and attending family. The patient felt at ease thanks to Jennifer's gentleness even while doing arduous tasks like moving her body and removing soiled underclothes. She explained all of her forthcoming actions in a calm, friendly and courteous manner.
Jennifer maintained an upbeat friendly disposition that made all of the blood draws and shift change feel seamless. Jennifer exemplified the perfect balance of being efficient and warm. She moved through all of the patient requirements and accommodation requests with a phenomenal bedside manner that made both patient and family feel well cared for and valued. Thank you Jennifer!"

Nick Lynch, RN
Unit: K7
“Nick Lynch is well known for his kindness, humor, dedication and engagement, but above all his selflessness. Nick unhesitatingly volunteers to support K7 as resource nurse and has precepted many nurses. He is beloved on both the unit and research council for his steadfast, supportive encouragement. As the current Chair of SLC Research Council, Nick is heavily involved at the forefront of SHC research, including his current project analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on nurses across the acuity spectrum at SHC.” .healthcare

Edward Kao
Unit: C2
“Edward’s approach to nursing goes above and beyond basic patient care and is rooted in constant empathy and compassion. Edward was the nurse for a young end of life patient with an extended stay related to uncontrolled pain and a complex discharge with home hospice. He advocated for this patient, working with a multitude of resources to expedite her discharge home. Edward also garnered permission to take the patient outside daily while hospitalized, which gave this patient the energy and motivation needed to make it to her goal of getting home and seeing her children in her final days.” (*Edward is now in E1)

Yan “Carol” Li, RN 👏👏👏👏👏
Unit: J2
“Carol always provides exceptional and compassionate care. She has precepted many new nurses and one day, mid-morning when a fresh heart transplant patient became asystolic, Carol stayed calm and taught her preceptee what he needed to do to provide excellent care. Most importantly, Carol prioritized updating family in a way that the patient’s wife could understand. Carol is a fierce patient advocate and always goes above and beyond to coordinate care for her patients.”

🌟Special congratulations to Jerald, a member of our recent New Grad Nurses Residency Program, for being a DAISY awardee!!! 🌼
Jerald Del Pilar
Unit: J4 ICU
“I was unexpectedly admitted into ICU because of cardiac complications due to cancer. Not only was Jerald Del Pilar a fantastic medical nurse, but also a great emotional support for me. When I had to shave my hair, he played Katy Perry, helped me open up about my feelings, and then he brought me a goodie bag and a beautiful pink journal to write my daily happy moments. He also had all the nurses write beautiful notes of inspiration on a get-well card. It is a gesture that will stay with me through this journey and one I will never forget.”
