Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our #PrismaHealthHeroes have been caring for patients and each other in big and small ways. These team members have gone above and beyond with every new challenge thrown at them, keeping patient health and safety at the forefront of everything they do. Our team photographers have been capturing images of our #PrismaHealthHeroes as they fight this pandemic. We thank these team members as they work to live our purpose in these unique times. Inspire health. Serve with compassion. Be the difference.
Meet today's #PrismaHealthHero. Alfreda Oree, nurse manager of Prisma Health Richland Hospital’s 9 East, an Acute Care for the Elderly Unit and 11 West Medical Nursing Unit, which has been designated for COVID-19 patients, has had a full plate during this COVID-19 pandemic. She knew that balancing the needs of her unit for the elderly with restricted visitation and opening a unit for patients with a new disease would be a challenge. Prisma Health would like to thank Alfreda and every team member who works every day to live our Purpose: Inspire Health, Serve with Compassion. Be the Difference. #PrismaHealthHeroes
Meet today's #PrismaHealthHero Nurse Manager Kodee Spearman (pictured left) wants the community to know that “Prisma Health Hillcrest Hospital is providing compassionate care 24/7/365!” While it is important to practice distancing during a pandemic, she also wants you to know that, if you are experiencing what could be a serious illness or injury, you should not postpone medical attention. “Our hospital is prepared to take care of your needs and provide the resources to get you well,” she said. “The Hillcrest Emergency Department team is incredibly compassionate and experienced. We care about our neighbors and are here to treat you like family.” Kodee’s role as a leader expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic to include planning and implementing tent triage with her medical director and helping to determine when to initiate that additional care. An equally important role? “Keeping the community healthy by first keeping the staff at Hillcrest healthy!”
Meet today's #PrismaHealthHero. Like so many other team members, Antine Stenbit, MD, has had to “come out of my comfort zone” to be ready to fight this pandemic. The pulmonary and critical care physician, who is also a clinical associate professor of medicine, says she has done “a wider variety of tasks during these weeks than I could have imagined even a month ago. There have been great times of creativity and challenge physically, emotionally and intellectually so far.” Dr. Stenbit has been outspoken in the attempt to keep the community educated about this “invisible enemy.” “It may not seem real, and it may not have made a personal impact on you yet, but at some point it will.” She wants the community to know that “Prisma Health is prepared. The creativity and ingenuity internally and with our community partners has been exciting to see. The teamwork has been amazing.” #PrismaHealthHeroes
Across Prisma Health, nurses and other front-line team members are shaving off their beards in the fight against COVID-19. Because certain types of facial hair can impact the effectiveness of face masks, team members are reaching for their razors to ensure they are properly protected. This also protects patients and helps to slow the spread of infection. A few of our team members shared with us how they #shavetosave! Greg Hair, director of nursing for emergency services at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, and Scot Bozio, nurse manager at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital, both show off fresh faces for the health and safety of themselves and others. If you’re also on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and are shaving to meet CDC guidelines, or if you’re a community member shaving in solidarity, share your images below and use #shavetosave!
