On this , we're proud to spotlight our most recent recipient, Sarah Gabriel, from our Case Management/Social Worker Department. Below are sentiments that leadership shared:

"What stands out most to me is Sarah's calm and steady presence. Even in the most challenging family situations, she remains poised, helping to de-escalate tension and guiding everyone toward solutions with empathy and professionalism. Patients feel heard and cared for, while staff trusts her judgment and respects her ability to advocate appropriately.

September is recognized as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to share information about the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. It is crucial to take this opportunity to break the silence that often surrounds the symptoms associated with ovarian cancer, as early detection can make a substantial difference in outcomes.

We actively support those who are battling ovarian cancer and offer encouragement and resources they need in their fight. Additionally, we honor and remember the brave warriors lost to this disease, acknowledging their struggles and the impact they made on others.

Art has the power to heal! Our patients discovered this firsthand during a therapeutic painting and poetry event where words and colors became part of the recovery journey. The event, which was a collaboration between GW Hospital Trauma Services/ the Hospital Violence Intervention Program and Project Purpose, saw patients share conversation and smiles while creating a piece of artwork they could take home.

"Lisa is a very experienced L&D nurse with a passion for quality and the heart of a teacher. I was stopped in the hallway by a family member who credited Lisa with her daughter's successful birth. When labor seemed to be stalling and the patient was losing hope of avoiding a cesarean delivery, Lisa had the foresight and patience to try something else. After Lisa's interventions, the patient experienced a beautiful delivery.

"Another patient recognized Lisa for her outstanding teaching that prepared the patient and her partner for her cesarean delivery. Lisa explained exactly what to expect and even had models to show what would happen. As a result of Lisa's teaching, the patient and her partner felt less anxiety and were able to experience a beautiful childbirth. Whatever method of delivery, Lisa is there for her patients and works to ensure they are informed and empowered."

Those were sentiments that leadership shared about Lisa Cook, RN, from Labor and Delivery, our most recent recipient. We're so grateful for Lisa's dedication to providing compassionate care through one of life's most meaningful moments.

Most parents will never get a call saying their child has been shot. If that horrifying call does come, the team at Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health is ready to help.

Earlier this month, a teenager ran up to a team member’s car, shouting for help. That individual had just clocked out and was preparing to head home to her family. However, she didn’t hesitate to help and put the child into her car and drove back to the hospital. The trauma team was able to get the teenager stabilized and taken straight into surgery. Thanks to everyone’s actions, a family can hold and hug their son and brother again.

Whether you’re a patient at GW Hospital or CHRMC, you become our family. We’re going to embrace you and care for you every step of the way!
