Thank you, Danis! Danis recently made a generous $50,000 gift to Baptist Health's Maternal Mental Health program, the Motherhood Space. 💙 Sadly, many new moms facing mental health challenges don't receive the support they need, and that's why The Motherhood Space Day Program was created. Made up of a team of psychologists who specialize in perinatal mental health, this program offers faster support via both individual and group therapeutic treatment from the space inside the Baptist Wellness Center at Riverside (Winston Family YMCA).

One of the most rewarding interactions I enjoy as a leader is meeting and spending time with our youth and future leaders. Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend some focused time with Jehu, a rising senior at the KIPP School and a member of our Tipping the Scale Program that pairs a student with a Baptist Health leader for mentoring and development. Jehu, student class president, asked to meet with me to discuss leadership, communication and what is it like to lead a regional healthcare system. As usual, I learned more from Jehu, than he probably did from me. He also spent time with Dr. Tim Groover, Baptist Health Chief Medical Officer learning and sharing with Tim. Leadership Alert : As a leader never miss the opportunity to invest in a young person’s life. Your presence casts a long shadow and they look up to you for inspiration and direction. Please don’t ever miss that opportunity!! #BaptistProud #Leadership #Mentoring

LEADING THE CHARGE IN ROBOTIC SURGERY: The team at Baptist Jacksonville completed the FIRST IN THE U.S. commercial use of a new and improved surgical robot system. We’re #BaptistProud to be pioneers of excellence in robotic surgery! Craig Morgenthal, MD, FCACS, with North Florida Surgeons, and the amazing OR team at #BaptistJax completed two gastric sleeve procedures with the new Maestro System just in their first day of using the digital surgical assistant in their OR. Because of advancements in robotic surgery, patients can undergo these procedures with the potential for reduced procedure times and a positive impact on surgical outcomes. Earlier this year, Baptist Jacksonville teams completed cases with an earlier version model of the Maestro Robotic Surgery System, including a surgery for one of our very own team members, which was performed by Steven Hodgett, MD, FACS, with North Florida Surgeons: https://lnkd.in/eBb3NeFP

Congratulations to the #BaptistBeaches Cath/IR team on their recent DAISY Award! This team has been nominated multiple times over the years, and this time, they were nominated by a patient: "When I first walked back to the area where the procedure was to take place, I was greeted with a 'Good morning, Ms. Moody,' by Danielle who had been with me the day before during my stress test. That immediately made me feel a little more relaxed. I didn’t know what to expect and was feeling very anxious about not having anesthesia. Sarah was very thorough in explaining how the entire procedure worked and even showed me the tools used to make the tiny slit and assured me I would only feel pressure and no pain. Andrei was very thorough in helping me set up the app on my iPhone and answered all my questions. She held my hand through the entire procedure and encouraged me along the way, as did Sarah and Dr. Galani. Dr. Galani was patient and very careful to make sure I wasn’t feeling anything sharp before he started the installation. I had to chuckle because they all 3 simultaneously had to remind me to breathe when he started." We are #BaptistProud of these team members for their compassionate patient care!
