September is dedicated to many important days of recognition, and I want to share two with you.
This week, we celebrate National Advanced Practice Providers (APP) Week. This particular week honors the contributions of Physician Assistants/Associates, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Nurse Midwives, and Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants. Our skillful APPs provide exceptional care to our patients and are valued and appreciated members of our orthopaedics team. They make invaluable contributions to patient outcomes. Please join me in thanking the APPs who help our patients every day!
The National Rehabilitation Awareness Foundation (NRAF) recognizes National Rehabilitation Awareness Week during the third full week in September every year. Numerous benefits arise from rehab programs, many of which are supported by faculty and members in our department. These services make positive impacts on the lives of people in need. It is a time to recognize the contribution of rehabilitation services and providers, who allow all to live their lives to the fullest.
Please join me in thanking all our rehabilitation and APP providers for their work in improving patient outcomes and transforming lives by providing the highest quality of care.
All the best,
Ben
