In the early 1980s, Upstate South Carolina resident Louie Lewis was visiting his parents in Taylors when his 68-year-old father stood up, stretched and moaned, “Oh, my aching body.” “And I said, ‘Well, dad, maybe you should take up a good weight-training program,’” Lewis recalled. “And he sort of gave me the evil eye because he knew I was trying to be funny. But since I’m almost the same age now as he was then, I’m at the point of taking my own advice.” ? #weightlifting #senior #seniors https://lnkd.in/gSVejAaT

In partnership with MUSC College of Nursing, we're so excited to introduce you to some of the Lowcountry's top nurses! Today, meet Leigh Anne Panek, DNP, RN, Clinical Instructor, MUSC CON! After 33 years of nursing, many patients have touched Leigh Anne Panek’s heart. “When I was a new nurse in 1991, I took care of a young man who was 32 and fighting leukemia,” said Panek, DNP, RN. “One day, he and my supervising nurse engaged in a water pistol fight in the hallway. Many would say it was unprofessional or just plain silly, but for this man, it was a bright spot to another long hospitalization to treat a disease that he wouldn’t recover from.” Panek knows that laughter truly is the best medicine, so she tries to find ways to joke with her patients if the situation is appropriate.

We're so lucky to have wonderful nurses in the Lowcountry! And in continued partnership with MUSC College of Nursing, we have the pleasure of highlighting some of them! Meet Sarah Miller, PhD., RN, Medical University of South Carolina. ?? Dr. Sarah Miller has always loved puzzles, especially puzzles that require her to figure out creative solutions. Puzzles are one reason that she became a scientist; she wanted to solve the scientific questions that were bothering her. Recently named the interim assistant dean of MUSC’s Ph.D. Nursing Science program, Dr. Miller brings her insatiable desire to solve scientific puzzles and a mentorship philosophy to her dual roles as an administrative leader and an educator. “Of course, mentorship is an expected responsibility of our profession, but it’s more than that, it is aligned with my personal core values of curiosity, connection and empowerment,” Dr. Miller explained. “It is important to me to connect with my mentees, empower them to be their best selves and most importantly, cultivate a spirit of inquiry.” Learn more about Dr. Miller here: https://lnkd.in/gNarMBKE

We're so lucky to have some of the best nurses in the Lowcountry & are excited to continue featuring them in partnership with MUSC College of Nursing! ?? Meet Dawn Terzulli, DNP, RN, PCCN! Dawn Terzulli has worked on a cardiac unit for almost all her 22 years in nursing; during this time, she cared for heart failure patients. She got to see the patients through the continuum of the chronic diagnosis — from admission through the progression of the disease, to the many times that require advanced therapies, such as left ventricular assistive devices (LVADs) or transplant. “Building relationships with these patients, and being there for them through every step, is an honor I cherish deeply,” Terzulli said. “Equally rewarding are the bonds forged with fellow healthcare providers and nurses, who provide unwavering support during these experiences. Terzulli said she relishes “the ‘a-ha’ moments … the anticipation leading up to those breakthroughs.” Learn more about Dawn here: https://lnkd.in/gNarMBKE
