Quote of the Day
Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.
Henry Ford
We love our Physical Therapists!
Mountain View MedSurg hosted a potluck honoring our wonderful Physical Therapists last week. George, Zach, and Dallin are a great asset to our team. They always have the best interests of our patients at heart, are a great resource for us, and are excellent at what they do. They always go above and beyond to help the nurses, CNAs, and patients, taking them to the restroom, getting them snacks, and making sure they have what they need. Many of our patients have commented on their expertise and outstanding service. Our MedSurg family would not be complete without them and the essential role they play.
Thanks George, Zach, and Dallin!
Business Office...News?
No, it's not quite Halloween, but we had a fun little scare in the business office!
I would like to give a special shout out to Doug Christensen and Robyn Lutes in the business office. We had a BAT..a BAT!! In our office!! They were able to safely catch the bat in some kitchen Tupperware and release it outside and save all of our lives from certain death!
-SunDee Baguley, Business Office Manager
News from Labor & Delivery
We had an amazing month of deliveries in July. We delivered 10 babies one day. That is an incredible amount for one day!
