Madison Hospital

A huge THANK YOU to our friends at the Madison Chamber of Commerce for donating these stylish canvas tote bags filled with fun prizes from local businesses! 👜✨

We can't wait to hand them out during our monthly birthday drawing giveaway for Emergency Department employees. 🎂

We appreciate the Chamber's constant support and partnership in celebrating the hardworking hospital heroes who care for our community every day! ❤️

Congratulations to CT Technologist Brianna Boatwright, recipient of our latest HRO (High-Reliability Organization) Hero Award! 🏆

Brianna was caring for a patient who experienced significant contrast extravasation during a CT scan. This occurs when IV contrast, a substance used to help produce clearer images, accidentally leaks out of the blood vessel and into the surrounding tissue.

After assessing the patient, she felt unsettled about the recommended treatment.

Instead of accepting an answer she felt wasn’t right, Brianna maintained a questioning attitude and voiced her concerns.

She also shared the experience with her director, helping identify an opportunity for additional education about the process.

Thank you, Brianna, for putting patient safety first, speaking up and staying diligent until you knew your patient was receiving the care they needed. That’s what being an HRO Hero is all about! ❤️👏

During the hottest week of the summer, the HH Health Patient Experience team cooled things down by treating our incredible staff to free ice cream, snow cones and refreshing lemonades! 🍦🍧

This sweet surprise was a big THANK YOU to our employees for always “Taking the HEATT” when caring for our patients and families.

🔥 H – Hear them out
🔥 E – Empathize
🔥 A – Apologize
🔥 T – Take action
🔥 T – Track and trend

Kudos to our amazing crew for keeping your cool and bringing your best every day — you deserve all the scoops! ✨👏

Huge congratulations to our Acute Medical Care Unit team for taking home the coveted HRO (High-Reliability Organization) Hero Award! 🏆

Thanks to an innovative pilot project where high-risk patients wore yellow hospital gowns as a clear visual reminder for staff to keep an extra close eye on them, the team achieved an astounding 78% reduction in patient falls this spring compared to the previous quarter. 📉

This incredible achievement shows what happens when proactive care, teamwork and smart safety practices come together. Thank you to our 3rd floor crew for your unwavering dedication to keeping our patients safe every single day! 💚👏

❤️ A 100th birthday invitation like no other! 🎉

While 99-year-old Kathleen Contillo was in our Acute Surgical Care Unit recovering from pneumonia, she formed a special connection with 27-year-old Registered Nurse Ramah Mohsin.

As a former nurse herself, Kathleen felt an instant bond with Ramah. Her morning routine? Putting on her lipstick and playfully calling Ramah her "boyfriend" whenever he walked into her hospital room! 💄✨

Their connection grew so strong that Kathleen insisted Ramah be there for her milestone 100th birthday party — and he wouldn't have missed it for the world. 🥳🎂

We are so proud of the healthcare heroes like Ramah who bring exceptional care and heart to our patients every day. Happy 100th Birthday, Kathleen! 💐
