We are excited to announce that Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital (APD), has achieved Level 1 Geriatric Emergency Department (GED) accreditation from the American College of Emergency Physicians. This makes APD the first critical access hospital in the United States to hold this distinction. This accreditation program was created to recognize emergency departments that uphold the highest standards of care for older adults. “Healthcare is ever changing, with some of the greatest advancements ever seen in modern medicine, but we must be cognizant of not losing the 'care' in healthcare,” said Kristie R. Foster, MSN, RN, GERO-BC. “Each one of us deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion in addition to all the latest and greatest medication and treatment modalities. Our geriatric patients want to be heard about what matters most to them. Geriatric emergency care is focused on making these a priority. That is the heart of this work.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gSeCWk3N

Please join us in congratulating Brigitte Eastman, BSN, RN, CEN, from the Emergency Department, for being the second recipient of The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses? at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital! The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care nurses provide patients and families every day. Nurses may be nominated by patients, families, and colleagues for the award and the award recipient is chosen by the Professional Development Council at APD. A grateful patient shared the following, "Brigitte took excellent care of me: mind, body and spirit. She understood that I needed education to participate effectively in my care and made sure that I understood the severity of my condition and necessity for treatment. She taught me to advocate for my needs when those unfamiliar with my case suggested going without oxygen. I could tell that she cared about me and was a knowledgeable professional who always brings her A+ game for her patients and fellow team members."
