“People couldn’t believe how fast I bounced back. The team was wonderful and made me feel so supported,” Debbie says.

Now she’s back to doing all the things she loves. 💚 Thank you Debbie for sharing your story with us.

Early yesterday morning, Thursday, September 11, Riverside became aware of a social media post made by an individual contracted through North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), our anesthesiology group, that included highly inappropriate comments supporting violence against a public figure.

We took prompt action and by mid-morning on September 11, her contract through NAPA was terminated. The individual is no longer affiliated with Riverside Health.
