Transformational Leadership

NICU Renovations The Birthing Center Equipment and Supply team identified improvements needed to the NICU. The team, led by Jennifer Snediker, RN, met and identified all areas that they wanted updated and what was needed in order to provide the highest level of care. The team met with Director Joy Gilman, RN, to discuss the project. The request included three new workstations that would allow nurses to have standing and sitting capabilities. Computers and phones at each workstation, new flooring and new desk areas were priced as well. Staff also voted on wall color to make the NICU a soothing and comforting color for our smallest patients. Joy met with the administrative team to discuss the project and began to get quotes for the improvements. Administration approved the project and the renovations were started. Following completion of the renovation, the equipment and supply team organized all workstations and created highly functional spaces to provide high quality and safe emergency care for the infants. The finished project is amazing. The nurse’s satisfaction when working in the NICU improved greatly and we are so proud of the accomplishment this team achieved.
