Community Heroes is what it's about.
Fresno Heart and Surgical Hospital (FHSH) is hosting a pilot for a Community Medical Center's Foundation program that will allow grateful patients to recognize staff and physicians for awesome care received and provided day in and day out. The patient is given an opportunity to make a donation, name an individual(s), and that person(s) can be formally recognized as a Community Hero, and ultimately have a very special lapel pin awarded to them to proudly display that symbolizes the heart of caring.

We have had great news, wonderful successes, and some tremendous awards that were bestowed upon the organization, and we want to celebrate those successes. Looking back, lots and lots of awards that are a tribute to the staff; to the physicians affiliated with this organization.

...that's what I used to proclaim about getting a Flu Vaccine...until yesterday.

I know, I know...I should know better, right? I worked as a bedside clinician for many years, have been in healthcare for 30 some odd years and have never received a flu vaccination. In fact, I was down right opposed to it. I am one of these quasi healthnuts that doesn't like to introduce stuff into my system, hate taking medications, and have read "both sides of the argument" about being immunized and not being immunized.

Whoa...what happened to Fiscal Year 2012? It's gone!!! 

September 1st ushered in the new Fiscal Year and with it refreshed targets to strive for. Traditionally, you tend to think of financial perfomance with any use of the word "fiscal", but there are many other considerations when building a strategic plan and budget.

1883 Health Care Reform...

...yep, it's certainly not that new.

I was reading a great article in "Modern Healthcare" magazine and the special feature in their July 2, 2012 edition reflected upon a timeline that dated back to 1883 and the journey to today. Like the good book says "there's nothing new under the sun". Folks have been trying to tackle the challenges of how to provide health services to the masses for many a year, and we are still struggling.
