We're celebrating ER Week and thanking our incredible team for all they do! The Emergency Department is often the front door of our hospital and the caregivers in this unit are second to none when people need them the most. Whether there's a trauma, heart related event, a stroke or broken bone, the ER team is ready and prepared for whatever comes their way. Thank you for all you do! #ERWeek #AlwaysReady

Quality care takes a village, and the nursing telemetry village of 3 East has gone 1,000 days without a CAUTI, a type of hospital acquired infection! That's 1,000 days of diligence, commitment to quality and passion for doing the best for our patients. Congratulations and thank you, 3 East! #QualityCare #ImprovingMoreLives

Today we hosted our annual Employer & Broker Summit to share about the ways Riverside Community Hospital is redefining what it means to be a community hospital. Through bringing the latest technology, world-class physicians and unique services to the region, we are transforming healthcare in the Inland Empire. Special thanks to Dr. Afshin Rashtian in our outpatient radiation oncology center for providing information on our state-of-the-art stereotactic radiosurgery system where we can provide faster, more precise radiation treatment. This technology opens up more options for patients who may have tumors in hard-to-reach areas that were previously deemed inoperable.

Our friends at the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) are hosting two virtual support groups this month. Virtual Support groups are free, 90-minute online groups to support survivors of physical injury. Groups are co-led by TSN Trauma Professionals and TSN Peers. #traumasupport

Heart Huddle! Brenda M., EVS A patient wrote,” Hello, I wanted to acknowledge and thank Brenda from the EVS Department today for her help. Standing in the hall with my mom on the gurney, she noticed I needed a chair. She also got us blankets. I so appreciate Brenda taking the time from her busy schedule to be so kind to us while we are here waiting to be admitted. She also asked if we needed anything else. What a blessing she was to us!" #BringingYourHeartTotWork #CareLikeFamily #HeartHuddle

Our Far West Division and local senior team participated in HCA Healthcare’s annual “Walk In Your World.” Leaders worked side-by-side with our colleagues to gain a deeper understanding of the patient experience and the challenges they face. Walk In Your World is a great opportunity to recognize the tremendous efforts of our teams and highlight the quality care they deliver each day to our community. Our Division Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff Murawsky, walked with Lindsey, a telemetry nurse on our G1 unit. Lindsey and Dr. Murawsky discharged two patients, administered medications and helped a patient put on his life vest. The pair also educated patients on medication compliance with coronary artery disease. Thank you to all the Far West leaders who came to Riverside to walk with our staff! #walkinyourworld

Heart Huddle! Olga H., PCT on D3 Med Surg Olga has been a PCT on D3 for over twenty years. She always makes our patients feel like family. During rounds, her patient state every day that Olga takes care of their needs, but she also spends time talking with them and makes them feel important and special. A patient stated, “Olga always checks on me and even if I am not her patient; she comes in to say hello and talk to me.” Olga is always willing to do anything for her patients and she really cares like family. Olga is always being recognized during rounds and employees often state how much they appreciate her care of their patients. Olga is what makes D3 and RCH special. She brings her heart to work every day and shares it with her patients. #CareLikeFamily #HeartHuddle
