Encompass Health Johnston is proud to announce the integration of Ava, an advanced telepresence and autonomous mobile robot. Ava allows providers to be “physically present” in a remote location without actually being there. Developed by Ava Robotics, this technology is widely used in healthcare and other industries.

Providers on overnight call will use Ava to assist with patient care during late hours. This innovation comes after months of collaboration between Erin Truman, chief nursing officer; Marcio Macedo from Ava Robotics; and our dedicated Encompass Health team. We’re excited to bring this cutting-edge technology to our hospital.

With the holiday season coming to a close, we wanted to share photos from our first holiday party. We had a great time at Crystal Lake Golf Club in Burrillville, Rhode Island. From good food to silly photo booth pictures to superlatives and giveaways, our staff enjoyed connecting with each other outside of work.

We are proud to recognize two nurses who recently earned their Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse (CRRN) credentials. Congratulations to Heather, registered nurse, and Tara, clinical educator, on this outstanding achievement.

After months of preparation, both successfully passed the CRRN exam—a significant milestone in the field of rehabilitation nursing. Interestingly, Heather and Tara took the exam on the same day without sharing their plans, but celebrated together upon returning to work.

Earning CRRN certification demonstrates advanced knowledge and commitment to excellence in rehabilitation care. We commend Heather and Tara for their dedication and professionalism.

We are proud to announce that registered nurse Ashley Szewczyk is the recipient of our first-ever DAISY Award. The DAISY Award is a national recognition program that honors extraordinary nurses for their care, compassion, kindness and humanity. Nominations come from coworkers, patients and families and are reviewed anonymously by the DAISY committee before selecting one recipient.

Ashley was nominated by a former patient, which makes this award especially meaningful. Thank you, Ashley, for your hard work and dedication. You have proven to be an extraordinary nurse, and we are so proud of you. Wear your DAISY pin with pride as a reminder that even on the toughest days, you are resilient and provide excellent care to our patients.

It’s the holiday season, and what better way to celebrate than by giving back.

For the second year in a row, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Johnston participated in “Elves for Elders,” a program that brings holiday joy to seniors living in facilities across the state. With the stars taken from our tree and the lobby overflowing with gifts, we’re proud to support older adults in our community who might not otherwise receive a present this season.

We’re delighted to continue this tradition and so proud of our staff for embracing such a meaningful program.

Kayla suffered a devastating stroke that left her unable to move her right side and struggling with speech. When she arrived at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Johnston, Kayla needed two staff members just to transfer and was fully dependent for self-care. With determination, hard work and daily physical, occupational and speech therapy, Kayla set her sights on returning home to her family and back to her career as a medical assistant. Her positive spirit lit up the hospital every single day.

Today, Kayla is completely independent! During her discharge celebration, she waved goodbye with her right hand — a powerful symbol of her strength and perseverance.

Congratulations, Kayla! You showed us all what courage and determination can achieve. We are cheering you on as you begin this next chapter!

After a life-altering fall, Lori came to Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Johnston to begin her rehabilitation journey. She worked hard every day with her physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapists, as well as her nurses, to get back to where she needed to be.

When Lori arrived, she required moderate assistance for walking, transferring and getting out of bed. Through determination, the unwavering support of her loving husband and the dedication of her care team, Lori now needs only supervision for walking and transfers.

It was a long journey, but Lori left our hospital stronger, more independent and surrounded by people who believe in her. Thank you, Lori, for trusting us with your care. We wish you all the best in your continued recovery.

We had a successful food drive for Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, an organization that empowers veterans by providing support services. Rachel, one of our speech therapists, delivered the donations and had the opportunity to speak with some of the employees there.

We are proud of our team for giving back to those in need, especially during the holiday season when circumstances are not the same for everyone.
