June 2015 Honoree
deb roest, RN
Deb was nominated because a patient's surgery was moved up and there was no time to send the pre-operative wash kit. Hip and knee replacement patients wash the operative area each day for 2 days or 5 days before surgery, depending on how they test for MSSA/MRSA. There was no time to mail the kit, so Deb hand delivered it to the patient's home. This made the patient's day and promoted safety.
Thank you, Deb, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
