We would like to extend a sincere thanks to each and every staff member at TPCH for their extraordinary efforts over the last few weeks. This week has been extremely challenging with consistently high demands on our services resulting from large numbers of admissions and ongoing staff absences due to illness.<\/h4>\n

We are working closely with staff on a daily basis to ensure the hospital can continue meeting these demands \u2013 this is not an easy task! Much of our current efforts are being directed towards bed management, timely patient discharges and hospital avoidance pathways. The success of these strategies relies on the commitment, flexibility and collaboration of staff, and we commend everyone for their hard work and outstanding efforts in supporting the excellent care of our patients and each other during this time.<\/p>\n

Next week, Executive Director Tami Photinos will return to TPCH after her four-week secondment as Metro North\u2019s Acting Chief Operating Officer. Tami enjoyed her time in the role and is looking forward to re-joining the team here at TPCH. A big thank you to Angie Dobbrick for her leadership and support as Acting Executive Director TPCH for the last three weeks. It was great to have Angie here!<\/p>\n
