National Healthcare Food Service Workers Week

Help celebrate National Healthcare Food Service Workers Week

In October 1989, President George Bush announced the first annual “National Health Care Food Service Week,” to observe the contributions of professionals in the health care food service industry. The week of observation reaches out to professionals such as cooks, chefs, bakers, dietary aides, dieticians, and food service volunteers who provide delicious and health conscious meals for health care facility patients, guests and staff.

From the preparation to the delivery of foods in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, these professionals often work behind the scenes, but play an integral role in the nourishment of staff and patients. For those that go above and beyond to make sure that everyone’s dietary needs are met, “National Health Care Food Service Week” recognizes the extent of their culinary contributions to patient care at FirstLight Health System.

Please take a moment to thank our talented Dietary Staff at FirstLight for their dedication and commitment to quality care!

National Surgical Technologists Week

/

According to AST (Association of Surgical Technologists), Surgical Technicians help keep the operating room efficient while ensuring patient safety. In 1984, the Association of Surgical Technologists Board of Directors dedicated the third week in September to recognizing them and their profession.

What does a Surgical Technologist do?

Surgical technologists are health professionals, who are an integral part of the team of medical practitioners performing surgery. 

Surgical technologists work under the supervision of a surgeon to facilitate the safe and effective conduct and environment during surgical procedures by ensuring: that:

  • the operating room environment is safe,
  • equipment functions properly, and
  • the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.

Thank you Jessica, Tawney, Becky, Jennet, Cora, and Maria for everything you do to keep our patients safe!
