Every month we celebrate our exceptional staff throughout the St. David’s HealthCare locations. Without the men and women who work non-stop behind the scenes, St. David’s would not be the same. Therefore, we love to recognize individuals through our ICARE, Employee of the Month and Caregiver awards. Here are a few snapshots of last month’s recipients.
Whether you are visiting one of our facilities or work for St. David’s HealthCare, please be sure to join us in telling someone Thank You today.
From Oxygen Therapists in the 1950’s, evolving to a professional organization for Inhalation Therapy, then Respiratory Therapy and now Respiratory Care, the evolution of the profession for the folks often called breathing techs and around here, “Cardio” has truly come of age. This week has been designated as a week to recognize these dedicated licensed professionals who provide a wide range of care, often for some of our sickest patients. Please take time out to recognize these bedside caregivers clad in green and black for the very critical role they play in managing some of our most challenging cases to positive outcomes.

St. David’s Rehabilitation celebrated National Rehabilitation Week with a “So You Think You Can Lip Sync Contest”. Employees from various rehab departments came together to compete in the talent show. Each group pulled out their best hospital costumes and rehab themed material to celebrate the patients and occupation they love so much.
St. David’s HealthCare employees donated both time and belongings to the victims of the Bastrop Labor Day wildfires. Thank you so much to all the individuals who came together and provided essential items to assist families in crisis as a result of the Central Texas wildfires and serve food to the emergency personnel who fought the flames.
