Douglas Flora: Staffing challenges and the value of great people

“’Great vision without great people is irrelevant.’ – Jim Collins, Good to Great

In today’s world, staffing challenges make it harder than ever to get the right people on the bus, as Collins describes. That’s why I’m especially excited to introduce two ‘new recruits’ at St. Elizabeth Healthcare—George and Celeste!

Okay, in full disclosure, they were here for ‘Cuddling with Coloring,’ a wonderful initiative from our Integrative Oncology team that supports patients and staff alike.

A huge thanks to Maggie Biesinger, Dwinelva Zackery, and Michelle Snell for making programs like this happen, keeping us focused on patient care that goes beyond medicine. Their dedication makes a difference every single day!”
