HIGH QUALITY CARE NURSING EXCELLENCE Congratulations to Metropolitan’s Jude Coye, RN, Staff Nurse in the Emergency Department and Radiology, who was honored at the NYC Health + Hospitals Nursing Excellence Awards. Coye was inspired by an aunt, a nurse, who told him, “Taking care of someone else fills a part of you that never empties. It makes you a better person.” Coye, in turn, says that one of his proudest moments came when a student told him that after seeing the care he gave her grandmother, she was changing her major to nursing.

CUIDADO DE ALTA CALIDAD

EXCELENCIA EN ENFERMERÍAFelicitaciones a Jude Coye, RN, de Metropolitan, enfermero en el Departamento de Emergencia y Radiología, que fue galardonada con uno de los Premios a la Excelencia en Enfermería de NYC Health + Hospitals.

Coye se inspiró en una tía, una enfermera, que le dijo: “Cuidar de otra persona llena una parte de ti que nunca se vacía. Te hace una mejor persona”. Coye, a su vez, dice que uno de sus momentos más orgullosos fue cuando una estudiante le dijo que después de ver la atención que le dio a su abuela, estaba cambiando su especialidad a enfermería.

"La compasión impulsa todos los valores en mi opinión".

MURAL COMUNITARIO

Los Premios a la Excelencia en Enfermería celebran anualmente a las más de 8,000 enfermeras dedicadas en el sistema de hospitales públicos de la ciudad. Todos los días, nuestras enfermeras van más allá de sus tareas rutinarias para garantizar que los pacientes se hagan cargo de su propia salud y la de sus familias. Les agradecemos por todo lo que hacen.

ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS

En Metropolitan queremos expresar nuestra gratitud a todos nuestros pacientes, sus familias y los miembros de nuestra comunidad, aquí en East Harlem, El Barrio y el alto Manhattan. Agradecemos su apoyo y nos comprometemos a garantizar que todos los pacientes que vienen a Metropolitan se sientan seguros y valorados.

Únase a nosotros para la presentación de nuestro nuevo mural comunitario el miércoles

13 de noviembre a las 10 a.m. en la entrada de la Segunda Avenida del hospital (en la calle 97). El mural que celebra nuestra comunidad fue creado por la artista Priscila de Carvalho y pintado en colaboración con pacientes, personal del hospital y miembros de la comunidad. Los murales comunitarios son provistos por NYC Health + Hospitals Arts in Medicine, con el apoyo del Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.

"Ver el viaje que toma cada paciente desde el momento del diagnóstico hasta el momento en que toma el control de su enfermedad para que no los defina, eso es lo que me motiva todos los días", dice. "Sabiendo que de alguna manera soy parte de eso, ¿qué podría ser mejor?"
