2017 Annual Nursing Report

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

CEO Message As we look back on 2017, we have focused a large amount of resources on experiences: patient, employee and physician. I continue to believe these are the correct areas to focus on in 2018. I think a large factor in our success has been the growth and development of our nursing leadership team. This nursing strength will be more important going forward than ever before. I believe our continued focus on the Magnet designation and shared governance model will guide the organization in the proper direction. This designation is maintained through the dedication and accomplishments of our nursing leadership. The strong leadership from our Chief Nursing Officer and our nursing councils has made it easy for this organization to take a leadership role around the Magnet strategies in our company. I want to take this moment to thank all of our nursing staff for their dedication and service to our community and patients. This year has started with one of the worst flu seasons in many years. With more admissions this year than last, the nursing staff is taking care of our community and patients with great care and precision. We are fortunate to have this nursing leadership right here at Montgomery.
