Prematurity Event Raises Awareness
From The President & CEO The Thanksgiving season is a time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for, especially this year as we continue to grow and expand. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all volunteers, employees and physicians for your commitment in going above and beyond for our patients and their families. We receive many words of praise through letters, comments Scott Batulis President & CEO and emails submitted by patients and family members. They describe the extraordinary things that our staff does every day. While we are great at taking care of others, we must also make it our goal to take care of ourselves. I encourage you to be role models for our patients by eating healthy, exercising regularly and getting enough rest. The benefits you reap from caring for yourself will have a positive effect on your family while also helping you deliver quality care to our patients. I am thankful that Orange Regional is stable and strong while many hospitals and healthcare systems continue to struggle. I feel grateful to be part of a system that our community can count on in a time of need. In order for this to continue, we must all remain dedicated and work together. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to work with you. Together we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our patients and our community.
Sincerely,
On November 14, the Rowley Family Birthing Center and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with the support of Marketing & Public Relations, Children’s ED, Pediatrics, March of Dimes, Babies R’ Us and Orange Regional Medical Group, hosted a free prematurity awareness event in recognition of World Prematurity Day on November 17.
Scott Batulis, President & CEO
Orange Regional’s clinical experts provided information, education, a teddy bear clinic for kids and free promotional items to community members. Face painting was a big hit and Fox Radio 103.1 FM broadcasted live, gave out prizes and conducted on-air interviews of our staff.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
