Congratulations to Amy Rodgers, Float Pool Manager at Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, CO, for being a proud recipient of the Patriotic Employer Award, “for contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America’s National Guard and Reserve force.” The award was presented on October 13th at Lutheran by Todd Riley, representing the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. Amy was nominated for this recognition by Jon Cuzner, RN, Float Pool, to express his sincere gratitude for her support, understanding, and flexibility as he serves his country at the rank of major in the U.S. Army Reserves. Although working full-time at Lutheran, Jon fulfills his military duties once a month as the Officer in Charge of a 20-bed unit field hospital.

Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, CO held the hospital’s first robotics career day on October 20. More than 40 students from Boulder County high schools attended to get a first-hand look at the future of healthcare. The goal was to get high schoolers excited about and interested in careers in medicine. Representatives from Medtronic, Stryker and Intuitive gave live demonstrations about how surgical robots work, discussed the benefits for patients, and allowed students to ask questions. The students were invited to try their hands at three robots – the Da Vinci, the Mako and the Mazur. “We want to create a bridge from classroom learning to real-world, hands-on application with the hope that this career day will inspire students to consider careers in medicine,” said Dawn Anuszkiewicz, Good Samaritan president. “Our goal is to show them that they can take their passions in tech, medicine, science or caring for people and turn them into jobs in healthcare.”
