It's with heartfelt sadness that we pay tribute to Dr. Joseph Giordano, former Chair of Surgery at GW Hospital, who passed away recently at the age of 84. During his very esteemed surgical career, Dr. Giordano is remembered as an outstanding surgeon, medical leader and educator. He may be most famously remembered for playing a central role in saving President Ronald Reagan’s life after an assassination attempt in 1981.

His professional achievements were recently highlighted by The Today Show during their "Life Well Lived" feature: http://spklr.io/6185BEDtZ.

We are forever grateful for Dr. Giordano's contributions and the lives he touched.

Today, we're proud to celebrate a dynamic duo who have been receiving rave reviews from both their colleagues and patients. Below are a few sentiments that leadership shared about a pair of nurses from our 4N team, Tigist Ambissa and Lacretia Smith.

"Both of these individuals are clinical supervisors and I have been receiving amazing feedback from both staff and patients. They both approach interactions with patients and their family members with intention, ensuring that every patient feels heard and respected. They have escalated concerns in real time for appropriate service recovery, if necessary. I felt very comfortable with them helping me oversee the unit and they both managed their duties seamlessly without complaints. Whether advocating for the patient's needs, clarifying care plans or collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, they both exemplified a standard of excellence that uplifted the entire care environment."

Job well done, Lacretia and Tigist; we're so appreciative of your commitment to providing compassionate and exceptional care.
