Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community
For Pay Period Ending January 4th
This pay period spanned both the end of 2024 and day one of a blizzard beyond what most of us have recently witnessed. Though I already know of some casualties, I hope this finds that most of you have weathered this event as best as possible. I feel as I write this that we have put the worst of it behind us, but please continue to be careful out there!
These types of extraordinary weather events always command extraordinary responses from those affected. I want to take a moment to thank the many MCH hands (and contracted hands) that persevered through this major storm to keep our healthcare services alive and available to those in need! We cancelled most elective services during the first couple of days, but we still needed many of you to be here for the few in definite need of us. Thank you so much for putting our patients ahead of your personal issues and for your efforts during the past week. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed!
A bright spot emerged just prior and even during the storm, as Dr. Diane Hunt (Senne) visited our facility on January 2nd and we have been in discussion ever since regarding her spending 2-3 days a month extending her surgical skills to Morris County Hospital. She will begin this service in mid to late February on Fridays. As many of you know her from her growing up in Morris County and being a CG Brave, I am sure you will be anxious to reacquaint. Through her guidance, we may well be bringing new services to our Community in 2025. More to come! And don’t forget that Dr. Tyler Stephenson will also be joining our team part time by the end of February!
I look forward to putting together some new targets and goals for 2025. Though we started the year with very little activity (note the few green metrics attained this pay period), I know we will be back on track in no time. I feel some real positive energy entering the New Year. Thanks again for all you do!
