🌟 Exciting Times Ahead! 🌟
Members of our Consumer Advisory Board (CAB) had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the new polytrauma unit after our recent board meeting. Although the unit is still under construction, the progress is promising!

Our CAB members consist consumers, County Veterans Services Officers (CVSO), Veteran Service Organization (VSO) representatives, state VA officials, and non-profit representatives. Together, we partner to identify opportunities for improvement in the services we provide and solicit direct input to design and implement patient-focused programs.

🌟 Employee of the Month - Administrative: Kristina Piotrowski! 🌟

We are thrilled to recognize Kristina, Environmental Services Tech, as our Employee of the Month! Kristina brings a positive attitude to work every single day.

She is responsible for keeping one of the largest units in our hospital clean and tidy, but she goes FAR beyond that each day! Kristina connects with our Veterans, checking in on their well-being and finding common ground topics to engage in meaningful conversations. Veterans have expressed their appreciation for Kristina's interactions, enjoying her conversations and attention to detail.

Not only is she dedicated to her daily duties, but she also plays a crucial role as one of our main trainers for new housekeeping staff.

Thank you, Kristina, for your hard work, dedication, and the positive impact you have on our veterans and team. Congratulations! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘
