Our Thoughts

of the solution.”
– Dianne Bush, Imaging Director
• “A patient recently told me, ‘You can tell that your staff loves
what they do, it’s not just a job.’”
– Becky Vodopich, Patient Representative
• A key philosophy we put into action is that everyone is
responsible for patient satisfaction, and we need to hold each
other accountable
– Marcia DePriest, Chief Nursing Officer
• “Happy associate, happy patient.”
– Eric Harris, Director, EVS, Security and Support Services
15
Pain Team
