Over the past year, CKHA’s nursing staff have made enormous contributions to improving the quality and safety of care delivered to patients at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. Many nurses have become Best Practice Champions and helped to implement Best Practice Guidelines throughout the Alliance. With their hard work and dedication, CKHA was awarded the provincial designation, Best Practice Spotlight Organization.
Additionally, during Nurses Week, CKHA will award its fourth annual, “Compassionate Caregiver Award” and on May 12 will host a Palliative Care Education day entitled “The Importance of Psychosocial Care” to be held at Smith & Wilson Estate Winery. CKHA staff will have the opportunity to attend this informative event at no charge.
As CKHA celebrates Nurses Week, we encourage others to take the time to reflect on how rewarding a nursing career can be and hope to inspire others to choose this challenging and fulfilling profession. Nurses have many roles, from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher - serving passionately as part of the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety and quality care.
