"An opportunity arose at Silvercrest that
allowed me exposure to a new kind of care, together with the chance
to participate in middle management." Michael came on board
as Lead Respiratory Therapist and now had the opportunity to care
for patients on an extended basis. "I get to work with people
for a long time, and get to know them. We care for individuals
with some of the most difficult respiratory problems anywhere.
It's so exciting when some of these patients walk out of here
breathing on their own... because it was thought they would never
be free of the ventilator."
Michael assists Janet Berding, Director of Respiratory Therapy,
in the management of the respiratory care staff. In extolling
their capabilities he reports, "the evening shift individuals
with whom I work are all fully certified and provide the best
of care to our patients. They are a solid and devoted team of
professionals." |
