“May is Speech and Hearing Month and in light of the pandemic, Bridgepoint’s speech-language pathologists and and communicative disorders assistants are taking on many alternate roles to support our patients, their families and nursing colleagues. We can be seen feeding patients, conducting Zoom calls, doing laundry, and still ensuring that both swallowing, hearing and communication needs are met. I’m so proud to work with such a dedicated team and am thankful for their adaptability and consistent patient-centered care that they provide each day. Happy Speech and Hearing Month!”

“I was given a complex assignment the other day that required a lot of critical tasks to be done for our patient to get the optimal treatment they needed. A nurse named Marion in our unit stepped in like an angel and helped me to complete some of these tasks while she has her own full caseload. These are the nurses I work with in the NICU, and they deserve to be appreciated.”
