❤️February is ❤️

Here are some important statistics below!

❤️Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the world. More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital in the United States and 90% of these are fatal.
❤️ CPR, especially if performed immediately, could double or triple chance of survival!
❤️For adults and teens, Hands- Only CPR can double or triple chance of survival
❤️Infants and children need CPR including breaths
❤️The American Heart Association Nation of Lifesavers initiative aims to turn bystanders into lifesavers, so that in the time of cardiac emergency anyone, anywhere is prepared and empowered to become a vita link in the chain of survival and provide CPR.

🌟Surgeon Spotlight with Dr. Eric Levicoff 🌟

1) How long have you been operating with ?

I have been operating since 2012, so over 13 years. Boy I am getting old!

2) What is your favorite surgical procedure to do?

I really focus on the few types of surgeries, and I enjoy all of them. If I had to pick, I would say revision knee surgery. It is super gratifying to meet somebody who has not done well with a previous surgery for one reason or another, figure out what’s wrong, and make them better!

3) What made you specialize in Ortho?

Well at first, it was because I wanted free tickets to sports events. But as time went on, I fell in love with the ability to restore function for active people who were previously unable to do the things that give them quality of life. Helping give that back to people never gets old!

4) What do you enjoy doing in your free time outside of work?

I enjoy cooking, reading and limping up and down a basketball court pretending I can still play.

5) What is something, personal or professional, that you’re hoping to accomplish in 2026?

I have been planning to learn how to play the guitar for over 10 years now, but 2026 is the year it’s gonna happen!!

Congratulations to our DAISY Award Winner, Lauren, from our Inpatient Unit! Here is what her two nominators wrote about her!

"While I may have only been a patient overnight for 1 day, I have never met a more passionate, knowledgeable and caring person in my lifetime. She was so thorough in her medical knowledge of each situation that presented in my stay. She was a problem solver and was constantly concerned about my pain and did everything she possibly could to make me and the other patients in her care comfortable. She was quick to respond and made you feel like you were her only concern in the world. She came up with positioning options, medication alternatives, and emotional support throughout my stay. And to think that she leaves her night shift job and goes home to care for her 2 year old child. She truly is an angel on this earth and is so deserving of this award. Words cannot really express how wonderful she is and how truly blessed I was to have her as my nurse, how lucky the institution is to have her as an employee, and the profession of nursing is to have her as a member. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lauren!"

"With past experiences with hospital nursing, my expectations were not much beyond the basics (monitoring my vitals, administering meds, and providing bathroom assistance). I was happily surprised with the care my night shift Lauren provided after having had spinal surgery. Her attention to the details of my needs was impressive. There were many things I can mention, but some examples were: how she put a full minute of pressure on the spots where she had drawn blood just so I wouldn't get any bruises. My feet always tend to be cold and she put an extra blanket across the bottom of my bed to warm them. Every time I needed a dose of oral pain meds, she gave me a light snack so my stomach would not be irritated. She was so quiet that she could check my IVs without waking me and wore a kind of book reading light around her neck to avoid turning on the lights (so much nicer than the blinding flashlight in the face). It was not only the small things she did but her knowledge and overall attention to correct procedures were five star worthy. Lauren deserves a field full of daisies!"
