Happy Motivational Monday! Let's start the week off with a great MM Spotlight, Dr. (LTC) Robert Houston. Thank you, sir, for making this patient's experience with us a great one!

Congratulations to Marc Zitnay and Oscar Holguin, cath-lab employees at our hospital, who were awarded the WBAMC Safety Certificate, Safety Recognition Crystal Plaque, and Beaumont Bucks from the safety office for having zero findings during a recent environment of care inspection! Achieving zero findings is a remarkable accomplishment that highlights not only adherence to safety protocols but also the proactive approach to identifying and mitigating potential risks in the workplace. Thank you gentlemen, for fostering a culture of accountability and continuous operational excellence!

It's spooky season, and what is one thing many people are afraid of? NEEDLES! That's right, getting blood drawn can be a nerve-wrecking experience, but here at WBAMC, we have the G.O.A.T. of lab technicians! Mr. Saul Garcia is our highlight for Motivational Monday today! We hear many comments about how easy their lab draws were because of Mr. Garcia, and a patient took the time to let us know about it in an ICE comment. He will ease your needle anxiety, you won't feel a thing! Thank you Mr. Garcia for making this patient's experience extraordinary! #patientexperience #wearefirsttocare #icecomment

Happy Motivational Monday! According to the patient who sent this ICE Comment, our Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit is smoother and much more productive!

Making extraordinary experiences for our patients, is our normal. High-quality care for those who have served or are currently serving our nation!

Suicide significantly impacts our military community and you may wonder how you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Suicide is a serious and complex issue, with many contributing factors and no single solution. This month, we will be sharing information to guide and help you understand contributing factors to suicide, such as access to lethal means, and will share information and strategies to help.? First, let's talk about a few misconceptions and facts.?Many assume that suicide is not impulsive.?Research shows it can take less than 10 minutes between thinking about suicide to acting on it.?Putting time and distance between a person at risk and a means for suicide is an effective way to prevent death.?? Stay tuned for more information as we journey through the month of September for Suicide Awareness and Prevention.?? #suicideawarenessmonth #likesharefollow? Sources: www.dspo.mil

Today is #purpleheartday !?Purple Heart Day encourages us to honor everyone who has received a Purple Heart.? General George Washington created it in 1782 and intended the honor to be presented to soldiers for "any singularly meritorious action."? Through the efforts of General Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. War Department created the Order of the Purple Heart. Then in 1944, the requirements limited the award to only those wounded or killed in combat. It is estimated that 1.9 million service members have earned Purple Hearts since its creation.? #thankaveteranwithapurpleheart
