We may have met some future heath care providers and leaders this week at the 8th Grade Career Exploration Fair! Only time will tell!

Our team members showed some hands-on ways our clinicians help save lives and restore function and mobility every day.

We taught students how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator) and to perform hands-only CPR in an emergency. We also showed some of the ways that rehabilitation professionals help patients through physical, occupational and speech therapies.

Thanks to the Blount Partnership for hosting this annual event and showcasing all the available careers in our community!

15 years!

Congrats to the team at our Sleep Health Center for all the hard work they put into attaining and maintaining accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for 15 consecutive years.

AASM-accredited sleep centers provide diagnostic and therapeutic care for people who have problems related to sleep and alertness. Sleep disorders include obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.

To receive and maintain accreditation for a five-year period, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. These standards address core areas such as personnel, facility and equipment, policies and procedures, data acquisition, patient care, and quality assurance. Additionally, the sleep center’s goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.

On a particularly hot day this summer, Robert Landers was weed-eating the steep bank near his home off Highway 411 when he got dizzy and fell. Prisma Health Home Equipment Services service technician Brent Greene just happened to be passing by, saw Robert laying in the ditch and stopped to help.

“There’s two steep parts that I can’t run over with the mower, so I have to weed-eat it,” Robert Landers said. “Everybody tells me I’ve got no business being on that bank weed-eating, especially since I’ll be 83 in November.”

“As I got closer, I saw a gentleman lying face down on the ground. I didn’t know exactly what he was doing, but I saw a weed-eater lying beside him,” Brent Greene said. “I made a U-turn. By the time I got back to him, he was rolling onto his back and trying to get up. I pulled up beside him and helped him sit up.”

“We are in the business of helping people,” Brent Greene said. “I just did something that anybody should’ve done.”

You know it's going to be a good Tuesday, when it includes a visit to a "Rare Aire" meeting!

Each Tuesday, Prisma Health Pulmonary Rehabilitation-Maryville hosts “Rare Aire,” a gathering of COPD and respiratory patients who use harmonicas to improve lung function.

The group spends an hour practicing their setlist, which includes “Oh, Susanna” and “The Crawdad Song,” improving their respiration and breathing abilities, and just having fun.

And even though performing isn’t their main goal, over the years, they’ve been invited to perform for churches, assisted living facilities and even at the historic Tennessee Theatre!

Above and beyond!

Prisma Health Blount Memorial Hospital registered nurse and oncology navigator Jennifer Collins earned the hospital’s thirteenth DAISY Foundation Award for Extraordinary Nurses for the care she provided the husband of a fellow Blount Memorial employee.

Julie Patterson's husband, Michael, has been undergoing cancer treatment. Collins earned the award after going “above and beyond” for Michael, including remaining in contact with him and helping lift his spirits when he was transferred to Duke University Hospital. “His recovery was so very hard, and he spent over a week in the hospital. Jennifer checked on him daily while we were at Duke,” Julie wrote in Collins' nomination. “His goal was to be home by Christmas, and it was not looking good. With Jennifer’s encouragement and motivation, he was able to meet this goal,” she added.

Both Julie and Michael were on hand to thank Collins and celebrate her when she received her DAISY award.
