Huge shout out to Darryl Sinclair and our food services team for making work fun! On May 4, we celebrated Star Wars Day. Our food services and nutrition teams work together to ensure patients receive the food needed to recover and play a pivotal role in caring for our patients. As we celebrate Stroke Awareness Month, we want to thank these teams for supporting our stroke patients, who often require modified diets. Thank you for bringing the fun to work!

Thank you to all staff who participated in the Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses (CRRN) Wall unveiling during National Nurses Week. CRRNs are registered nurses who have advanced their professional knowledge and are highly skilled in caring for rehabilitation patients. They are experienced rehabilitation nurses who study and pass the difficult CRRN certification exam. They impact patient outcomes and help improve overall care. Each CRRN uses their credentials with pride and has been given a badge buddy so patients can easily identify them. The nursing leadership team has also given the newest CRRNs a pin to acknowledge their hard work.

On March 8, we posted a video of Moses. Prior to arriving at Encompass Health of Western Massachusetts, he spent 78 days in the hospital. At that time, he required physical assistance and a wheelchair for mobility. After a 13-day stay at Encompass Health, he independently walked out of the building to embrace his wife. Moses sent us a one-month update sharing, “I’ve been getting physical therapy and exercising at home, such as walking in the park and workouts with my cousin." Thank you the update and we’re excited to see you continuing to work hard on your recovery, Moses!
