Dear Colleague:
As your new chief nursing officer, I am proud of the many accomplishments you achieved in 2010 and look forward to continuing this journey with you to be a national leader in healthcare quality. View the Celebrating Nursing Excellence: 2010 a year in review 

I am counting on your expertise and leadership as we work together to improve patient care delivery and advance the profession of nursing at Bronson. Many of you have been involved in shared governance councils, served on hospital committees, and implemented evidence-based practices. Your involvement will continue to be imperative as we look for ways to improve transitions of care and partner with patients and families.

Nursing at Bronson has adopted a relationship-based model of care. The relationships you have with each other, with our colleagues, and with our patients and families have an impact on the way we provide excellent healthcare services. As we look to the future, these relationships will be even more important, especially as it relates to communication and teamwork.

Thank you for all you did in 2010! We’ll continue to raise the bar together in 2011.

Sincerely,

Denise Neely, BSN, MBA, RN, Vice President, Chief Nursing Officer
