FROM DAVIESS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CEO TRACY CONROY:
“Prepared to Care was the 2021 theme for Hospital Week in honor of all employees that work in Healthcare. Ironically, the first National Hospital Day was celebrated 100 years ago in 1921 in response to the last global pandemic-the Spanish Flu of 1918. Here we are 100 years later in the middle of a pandemic caused by COVID-19. We all have faced many challenges, both professionally and personally, during 2020. Fortunately, life is getting back to a new normal with the development and impact of the vaccine and I am very optimistic about 2021!
Every day our employees and providers unite as a team and come prepared to care for patients and families during difficult moments. Team work is key in providing a safe environment for both patients and employees. It takes the entire team working collaboratively to achieve quality outcomes for our patients. Each member of our staff contributes to the culture of our organization. I want to thank you our team members for creating a safe and compassionate culture at DCH!
