Faculty, Residents, Nurses and Staff Assist with Patient Care During Matthew

I trust everyone made it through hurricane Matthew safe and with minimal property damage. In the aftermath of the storm, I just wanted to take a moment and thank those faculty, residents, nurses and staff who assisted with patient care coverage during the storm. In particular, I would like to recognize the attendings and residents on the inpatient service who worked during this time (several who volunteered to work additional duty during this emergency):

Tanya Anim
David Quillen
Gary Allen
Jeff Costain
Nik Dorsey
Denise Driscoll
George Eldayrie
Alex Leasure
Jairo Olivas
Sey Park
Richa Sutaria (anesthesia)

In addition, I would like to thank Shenary Cotter who provided additional outpatient coverage on Friday during a time when our clinics were closed and Dave Feller for assisting with coverage coordination. Finally, we had numerous folks volunteer to provide additional assistance and coverage – I want thank them as well.

I feel very fortunate to work in a department where we have so many people eager and willing to assist during an emergency.

Thanks

Peter
