🏆 Honoring Jonah Warfield, RN, ED, UHTMC, for going above and beyond for his patients! 🏆 Nominated by a fellow nurse, Jonah showed exceptional dedication when he noticed patients waiting for inpatient beds had gone without showers. He took the initiative to escort them—coordinating with security, assembling shower kits, and cleaning the decontamination shower. His efforts required hours of preparation but made a huge impact. His compassion not only restored dignity but also lifted patients’ spirits. One even said, “You are an awesome nurse and deserve an award.” Congratulations, Jonah, on your well-deserved DAISY Award! 👏💙🌼 #employeeappreciation #HealthcareHeroes #NursingExcellence

It could be the moment that sparks a career. More than 50 high school students from across the Metro spent their Saturday at University Health, all sharing a common interest—orthopaedic surgery. As one of medicine’s least diverse specialties, orthopaedics benefits from programs like Bridging the Gap. At this event, students toured an operating room, practiced sawing and drilling on simulated bones, and connected with a diverse group of physicians eager to inspire the next generation. #BridgingTheGap #AcademicMedicine
