Congratulations to Stephanie Calcasola, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, CPHQ for being recognized as one of Modern Healthcare's Rising Star honorees for 2025! ?? This prestigious recognition celebrates the outstanding contributions of women across the healthcare industry, highlighting their efforts in improving care delivery, promoting health equity, shaping policy, and advancing gender equality in healthcare leadership. ?? Way to go, Stephanie! ??

Five years ago today, the arrival of our first COVID-19 patient at Hartford Hospital marked the beginning of an unprecedented journey. It was a moment of uncertainty, but also one of immense courage and resilience. Our colleagues stepped forward with unwavering commitment to care for our community, even when the world stood still. We’ve learned and grown from it and become stronger together – never going back to normal but always striving to be better.

Behind every safe patient experience is a team that cares. ?? This #PatientSafetyWeek, we’re spotlighting the people who make quality, compassionate care possible—like Ryan Turian and his team at The William W. Backus Hospital! ?? The most rewarding part of his job as Manager of Radiation Oncology is getting to see the patients each day. He loves being able to follow them through their whole journey and celebrate the completion of their treatment with a ring of the celebration bell. Here at Hartford HealthCare, patient safety is our top priority! ??

We’re reinvigorating Family Initiated Rapid Response ?? Dr. Drew Metzger explains this important new initiative at MidState Medical Center and The Hospital of Central Connecticut that will elevate the top-tier patient safety we already provide to a whole new level!

Celebrating #PatientSafetyWeek this week and every week! ??

Thank you to all of our healthcare workers for always delivering the safest care possible! ??
