It was a perfect day to play softball at Lake Fairview Park – partly cloudy with a slight breeze. The Cardiovascular Institute held its 5th Annual Staff Appreciation Day on Sunday, April 25th, which included a family-style barbeque, fun for the kids, and softball games.
They certainly had reason to celebrate: 5 consecutive quarters of 90-95% Top Box Patient Satisfaction Scores!!!
The Cardiovascular Institute staff work hard in the 15-story Ginsburg Tower, one of our Centers of Excellence at the Orlando campus. Each year, our team of cardiac experts sees more than 70,000 patients. That makes them #1 in Cardiology Volume, #1 in Vascular Surgery Volume, #1 in Women’s Cardiology Volume, #4 in Thoracic Surgery Volume, and #8 in Open Heart Surgery Volume!
But, Sunday was not about work – it was a time for all of the units to get together to compete in an exciting co-ed softball tournament. The games were each an hour long.
The results:
Game 1 – Cardiac Medical Units vs. Cardiovascular PCU (10-6)
Game 2 – Cardiac Surgery Units vs. Cardiology (13-4)
Championship Game – Cardiac Surgery vs. Cardiac Medical (5-4)
Anne Knoll, VTICU Nurse Manager, said, “I like being here because I feel relaxed, unrushed, and am having a great time. I also enjoy seeing everyone else having a good time.”
Everyone definitely had a good time. The emphasis on teamwork is evident both on and off the field. The CV Institute cares for one another like they care for their patients and I was honored to be a part of their day.
